Ingredients
- 16 oz rotini pasta dry
- 1 large cucumber sliced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 medium red onion diced
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
Dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 lemon, squeezed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup basil, chopped
- 5 sprig thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- To start, boil the pasta according to the directions on the box. While the pasta is cooking prep the dressing and other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with chopped basil and thyme. Then, juice the lemon and add in the apple cider vinegar. Season the dressing with salt and pepper but you may want to add more later. This will need to be adjusted to taste.
- Dice your red onion and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Then, slice the cucumbers into quarters so that way they are easier to grab while eating. I also would recommend removing the skin.
- In a large salad bowl, add in the cooked pasta, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and crumbled feta. Now, pour the dressing over everything and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste.
- You can serve this salad immediately or make ahead and allow it to sit overnight and let the flavors really come together.
