Savor the delightful flavors of Greece with this refreshing and quick-to-make pasta salad!
Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. This usually takes around 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
While the pasta is cooking, rinse the spinach under cold water and chop it coarsely. Set it aside in a mixing bowl.
Next, chop the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl with spinach.
Dice the cucumber and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the mixing bowl as well.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and run under cold water to cool it down. Let it sit for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Add the cooled pasta to the mixing bowl with the vegetables, and crumble the feta cheese on top.
Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and gently toss until everything is well combined.
Allow the salad to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving at room temperature or chilled.
