Ingredients
  • 8 oz uncooked pasta (I used Banza rotini)
  • 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 green onions, chopped fine
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 english cucumber, seeds removed and chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 15 or so kalamata olives, chopped
Instructions

  1. Boil salted water for pasta and cook according to directions. If using Banza pasta cook for 5 minutes and no longer or it will fall apart in the salad. 


  2. Drain pasta and rinse with cold water until cool, gently tossing with your hands. Lay it out on a dish towel to dry while you make the dressing. 


  3. In the bottom of a large bowl combine the lemon, oil, honey, salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add the cooled pasta, green onions and the parsley. Stir together until pasta is coated in the dressing. 


  4. Add in the cucumbers, tomatoes and olives. Combine and then sprinkle with feta. Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
