Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat.
- While waiting for the water to boil, wash and chop your vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber and bell pepper, and finely chop the red onion.
- Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, typically around 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
Cooking/Assembling
- Drain the spaghetti and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled spaghetti with the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, black olives, and feta cheese.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the spaghetti and vegetable mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Serving
- Once everything is well mixed, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish the salad with fresh basil.
- Spoon the salad into individual bowls or a large serving platter and enjoy immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a more refreshing experience!
Notes
For best results, use high-quality olive oil in your dressing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
