• 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cubed
• 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 5 to 8 artichoke hearts, halved
• 1/2 cup pitted olives
• 1 (4 oz) block feta, crumbled
• salt & pepper, to taste
• Greek Salad Dressing (recipe below)

Greek Salad Dressing

• 3/4 to 1 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon dried whole oregano (dried italian seasoning can be substituted if needed)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• sweetener, to taste (I use 1 to 2 drops of stevia)

Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. 

Add vegetables and toss to coat. 

Finally, add feta and cooked, drained pasta. Toss to combine and coat in dressing. 

Season with salt and pepper if needed and enjoy!
