16 oz feta cheese

10 oz pitted or sliced black olives

12 oz tricolor rotini pasta

1/2 lb cherry or grape tomatoes

1/2 cup olive oil

Cooking Instructions
-
1
Boil water in a medium sized pan.
-
2
Prep your peppers. Wash them first, then carefully cut the stem out of each one.
-
3
Cut the pepper into halves from top to bottom, and rinse out what you can of the seeds.
-
4
Cut into slices. I personally prefer to cut them in half afterwards, but that is optional.
-
5
Put sliced peppers in a large bowl.
-
6
Slice grape tomatoes into halves and add in with peppers. Add black olives.
-
7
By now, you should be ready to cook your pasta. Once it is done, strain the noodles, rinse with cold water, and add it into the bowl as well.
-
8
In a separate bowl, stir together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried basil, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Add mixture into large bowl.

9
Stir in crumbled feta cheese.

Chill before serving. If you have a balsamic fig glaze, you should try drizzling some on top of the serving for an additional sweetness!
