Mediterranean Pasta Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 cups penne pasta
  • 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary components.
2
Fill a substantial container with salted water, then bring it to a vigorous boil. Introduce penne into the pot and return it to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally until the pasta is cooked through. Remove from heat and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process; subsequently, drain the excess liquid thoroughly.
3
Prepare a separate mixture by blending olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set this dressing aside for later use.
4
Combine the cooked penne pasta with diced tomatoes, sliced green and red peppers, chopped onion, cucumber slices, pitted olives, and crumbled feta cheese in a large bowl. Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the pasta mixture and mix everything together until it's well combined. Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.
