Ingredients

  1. 1 yellow bell pepper
  2. 16 oz feta cheese
  3. 10 oz pitted or sliced black olives
  4. 12 oz tricolor rotini pasta
  5. 1/2 cup olive oil
  6. 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  7. 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  8. 1/4 tsp onion powder
  9. 1/4 tsp dried basil
  10. 1 tbsp white sugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil water in a medium sized pan.

  2. 2

    Prep your peppers. Wash them first, then carefully cut the stem out of each one.

  3. 3

    Cut the pepper into halves from top to bottom, and rinse out what you can of the seeds.

  4. 4

    Cut into slices. I personally prefer to cut them in half afterwards, but that is optional.

  5. 5

    Put sliced peppers in a large bowl.

  6. 6

    Slice grape tomatoes into halves and add in with peppers. Add black olives.

  7. 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. 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. 9

    Stir in crumbled feta cheese.

  10. 10

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