Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Time to cool down those noodles like they just stepped out of a hot sauna!
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. Make sure to give it a good mix - use that arm strength!
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Channel your inner dressing artist and mix it until it’s smooth and sultry.
Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until everything is coated in that delicious goodness. Yum!
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This is the hardest part – waiting! But trust me; good things come to those who wait!
Serve chilled with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top. Enjoy your majestic creation!
