A refreshing and flavorful pasta salad inspired by Mediterranean ingredients, perfect for gatherings or a light meal.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and let it cool completely.
Rinse the pasta with cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly.
Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure uniform sizes for even distribution of flavors in each bite.
Combine the cooled pasta, chopped vegetables, and black olives in a large bowl.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the pasta or mashing the vegetables.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before adding it to the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad before serving.
Add the cheese just before serving to maintain its texture.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature and enjoy.
Pair with a crusty bread for a complete meal.
