Greek Gemelli Pasta Salad
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) package gemelli pasta
  • 3 cups firmly packed baby spinach leaves
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 (6 ounce) container crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 3/4 medium English cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
1
Combine olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2
Next, fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add gemelli pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but still retains some firmness in the center, approximately 8 to 11 minutes. Remove from heat and rinse under cold running water. Repeat the rinsing process.
3
Transfer the cooked gemelli pasta to a large serving container. Add fresh spinach leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, sliced Kalamata olives, thinly sliced cucumber, and red onion. Mix the pasta with the dressing until everything is well combined.
