Zutaten:
- 8 ounces farfalle ((bowtie pasta))
- 1/2 English cucumber, (chopped)
- 1 green bell pepper, (chopped)
- 10 ounces cherry tomatoes, (halved)
- 1 to 2 shallots, (chopped (or 1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped red onion))
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons capers, (drained and rinsed)
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 1/3 cup feta cheese, (crumbled, more or less to your liking)
- 1 lemon, (zested and juiced)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
Arbeitsschritte:
- Cook the pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions (about 8 minutes). Drain and set aside briefly to cool just a bit.
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, mix the lemon juice and zest, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, and a good pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk to combine, and while whisking, drizzle in about 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.
- Add the veggies: To the bowl with the dressing, add the pasta, cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, shallots, parsley, capers, and Kalamata olives. Toss to coat, then add the feta and toss again very gently.
- Chill: For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours before serving. Give the salad a final toss and serve cold or at room temperature.
