Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb penne pasta
  • 1 English cucumber, diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cook penne in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and cool completely.
  2. Dice cucumber, halve tomatoes, and slice red onion. Place in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add cooled pasta to vegetables, pour over dressing, and toss. Fold in feta and parsley. Serve or chill.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the salad rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. If making ahead, wait to add the feta until you’re ready to eat.
