Directions
-
Combine all of your prepared dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk everything together and taste for seasoning. Be careful about adding too much salt, because you will get a lot of salty flavour from the feta. The dressing can definitely sit overnight to bring out the garlicky goodness!
-
Cook your pasta in salted water. Make sure it is al dente, because the dressing will soften the pasta once it is absorbed. Once your pasta is cooked, leave in a large bowl to cool. If you are short on time, rinse under cold water.
-
Add all of your prepared vegetables and feta to the bowl of pasta. Pour on your dressing and toss. I like to let the salad sit for an hour before serving, to giving the dressing a chance to be absorbed, but it is not necessary.

Enjoy!
