Greek Pasta Salad

This Greek pasta salad will be your go-to summer salad with tangy feta cheese, kalamata olives and a homemade dressing that tops crunchy cucumbers and delicious roasted red peppers.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup fruity olive oil
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons dry oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound pasta noodles (of your choosing), cooked, drained and cooled
• 1 12-ounce jar roasted red bell peppers slivered or chopped
• 1 8-ounce jar kalamata olives, halved
• 1 cucumber, cut into slices
• ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions:

1. To make the dressing, in a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and whisk well to combine. Let sit at room temperature for flavours to blend.
2. Add the cooked pasta, roasted bell peppers, olives, cucumber, onion, and half of the feta cheese to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to mix.
3. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper or more olive oil if needed. Add the rest of the feta cheese to the top of the pasta salad.
4. Let the flavours sit for ½ hour before serving or overnight.
