Preparation Steps for Summer Pasta Salad
- Cook the fusilli pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool, then drain well again.
- While pasta cooks, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, and sliced black olives.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
