Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups tri-color rotini or any spiral pasta
¼ cup medium red onion diced
1 large tomato diced
½ a seedless English cucumber diced
1 red peppers seeded and diced
¾ cup light feta cheese
½ cup black Kalamata olives I also use the pre-sliced ones if I feel extra lazy -they don't look as nice, but they save you the hassle of dealing with pits and/or chopping
4.5 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
4.5 teaspoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoon each chopped fresh mint and basil

Garnish

additional fresh basil and mint, as desired
fresh lemon wedges, if desired

Instructions

Cook pasta in water (as per package directions) until tender (al dente), but still firm. Drain. Put in the fridge to cool while preparing the rest of the ingredients. If you are in a hurry, run the pasta under cold water before placing in the fridge to speed up the cooling time.
In large bowl, combine cooled, cooked pasta and remaining ingredients, tossing well. Refrigerate until cold (it's best served cold). Serve.
May be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
