Pasta Salad with Hummus and Feta
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package bow-tie pasta
  • 1 English cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup hummus, or as needed
  • 4 leaves fresh basil, finely chopped, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
Instructions
1
Prepare a substantial container of salted water to reach its boiling point. Cook bow-tie pasta in the boiling water, stirring periodically, until it reaches a tender yet still slightly springy texture, approximately 12 minutes. Set the pasta aside to cool down completely, which should take around 15 minutes.

In a separate, moderately-sized bowl, combine sliced cucumber, diced tomatoes, thinly-sliced red onion, and minced garlic. Add the cooled pasta to the bowl and mix it with a creamy hummus-based dressing. Gently combine the fragrant leaves of basil into the mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the amount of hummus as needed to achieve your desired level of wetness or dryness. Finally, top the salad with crumbled feta cheese for a touch of elegance.
