How to make Feta and Cucumber Pasta Salad

Why cooks start here

Feta and Cucumber Pasta Salad is a cool pasta from mezze bowls, dressed after the noodles have been boiled and tossed with oil so they stay separate.

Feta and Cucumber Pasta Salad draws inspiration from the fresh, vibrant flavors often found in Mediterranean mezze bowls. This dish is a delightful choice for warm days when a cool, refreshing meal is preferred. The pasta is first boiled and then gently tossed with a touch of olive oil, ensuring each piece remains distinct and ready to absorb the flavors of the accompanying ingredients. Expect a harmonious blend of creamy feta, crisp cucumber, and briny Kalamata olives, all brightened by a squeeze of lemon. The farfalle provides a satisfying base, catching the dressing and toppings in its folds, each bite offering a balanced taste of summer freshness.
