Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook 12 oz of bow-tie pasta according to package instructions for about 8–10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Prepare the vegetables: halve 12 oz of cherry tomatoes, quarter 2 medium cucumbers, dice 1 red bell pepper, and chop ⅓ cup of red onion. Slice ⅓ cup each of black and green olives and add to the dressing. Mix well and let marinate.
- Once the pasta has cooled, add it to the bowl with the marinated vegetables and dressing. Toss together, ensuring everything is well coated, then crumble in 4 oz of feta cheese.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, black pepper, or lemon juice as desired. Let sit for 15-30 minutes at room temperature to meld flavors.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, perfect as a side dish or light main course.
