Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 oz of bow-tie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Add 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and emulsified.
- Add 12 oz of halved cherry or grape tomatoes, 2 quartered cucumbers, 1 diced red bell pepper, and ⅓ cup of chopped red onion to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat. Allow to marinate for a few minutes.
- Once the pasta has cooled, add it to the mixture along with ⅓ cup each of sliced black and green olives and 4 oz of crumbled feta cheese. Gently toss until evenly coated. Season as needed.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. The salad can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
