Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the pasta cools, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Toss them together in a large mixing bowl.
Mixing
- Add the halved Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and rinsed chickpeas to the veggie mix.
- Once the pasta is cooled, add it to the bowl with the vegetables and chickpeas.
Dressing and Serving
- Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and fresh herbs before gently tossing everything together until it’s evenly combined.
- For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Substitutions: Swap feta for crumbled goat cheese or add bell peppers for extra crunch. This salad tastes even better after marinating for a few hours, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully.
