Pasta Salad With Italian Dressing

Ingredients

• 12 ounces tricolor rotini pasta
• 1 cup chopped cucumber (peeled and seeded)
• 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 1/4 ounces can sliced black olives (drained)
• 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
• 1/2 to 1 cup Italian salad dressing

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil pasta: Boil the rotini according to the package instructions to al dente, about 8-10 minutes, adding a pinch of salt to the water. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to cool the pasta.

2. 2

   Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cucumber, tomatoes, feta cheese, black olives, and red onion. Drizzle with the Italian dressing and toss until everything is well coated.

3. 3

   Chill salad: For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
