Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil and once boiled, add your rotini pasta. Cook until just after al dente, but not mushy, Make sure to be tasting your pasta often as it nears cooking to ensure you catch it at the right moment. Mushy pasta is not going to be enjoyable. Once the pasta is ready, strain and immediately rinse thoroughly with cold water until the pasta cools down. This stops it from continuing to cook. Set aside.
While the pasta sits, that's when I'd typically do all of my prep. Add the pasta to a large mixing bowl followed by the onions, tomatoes, cukes, garlic, parsley, dill, bocconcini, feta & seasonings. Add the dressing / vinaigrette and stir to combine everything nicely.
Cover and refrigerate for an hour before serving. Prior to serving, you may want to toss the salad again with a little dressing if needed. Make sure to taste before serving to determine if more dressing is even required. Transfer to a serving bowl and ENJOY!
Pasta salad will sit comfortably in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days. ENJOY!
