Method

1. To cook the pasta

To cook the pasta, bring a large sized saucepan of water and salt to the boil. Cook pasta for 10 minutes, or until just tender, but cooked through. It’s important not to overcook the pasta so it holds it’s shape in the salad. Once cooked, drain, and place in a large mixing bowl. Toss through a little olive oil and set aside to cool.

2. For the dressing

For the dressing, add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Alternatively, you can place the ingredients into a jar and shake!

3. To assemble

To assemble, add all of the salad ingredients to the pasta bowl and toss gently. Pour over the dressing and toss until coated.

4. To serve

To serve, spoon the salad into individual serving cups/bowls and crumble over a little extra feta.
