Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dry pasta (penne or rotini)
- 150 grams salami
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 100 grams black olives
- 0.5 red onion
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Slice the salami into thin strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, slice the black olives, and finely chop the red onion.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, salami, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, and red onion.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and drizzle the dressing evenly over the ingredients. Gently toss everything together until the salad is well coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a main dish or side, and enjoy!
