Ingredients
Scale
For the salad:
- 12 ounces dry pasta (I like bow tie pasta, farfalle)
- 1 English cucumber, unpeeled and diced
- 1 cups cherry or baby plum tomatoes, halved
- 2/3 cup sliced kalamata olives
- 4 ounces Greek feta cheese, crumbled
- ½ medium size red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
For the dressing:
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 TBS good quality red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
- 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp dried oregano flakes
- 1 tsp liquid honey
- 2 small cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- ¼ tsp coarse ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with lightly salted water and bring to the boil. Add the pasta and cook just to al dente according to package directions. Drain well, rinse under cold running water and drain again. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare your vegetables. Chop your cucumber, slice your onion, halve your tomatoes, slice your olives. Put them into the bowl with the cold pasta.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over top of the pasta/vegetable mixture. Toss together to coat everything in the dressing.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and serve, tossing again just before spooning out onto the plates. Enjoy!
