Preparation Steps
- Begin by preparing your fresh ingredients for the Traditional Greek Pasta Salad. Peel and slice the cucumber into 1/2-inch half-moons, halve the juicy tomatoes, and dice the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince the red onion finely and chop the fresh parsley. Finally, crumble the feta cheese to ensure each bite is bursting with flavor.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Once ready, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
- In a medium bowl, combine the tangy red wine vinegar, smooth olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk gently until well blended.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled rotini pasta, prepared vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle the whisked dressing over the top and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
