Making The Best Pasta Salad is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

2. Prep the Vegetables: While the pasta cooks, prepare your vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, chop the bell pepper, finely chop the red onion, and slice the black olives.

3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, black olives, and parsley.

4. Add Feta: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, being careful not to break it up too much.

5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the Italian dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything together to ensure an even coating.

6. Season: Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as necessary.

7. Chill: Allow the salad to chill for at least 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

8. Serve: Give the salad a final toss before serving to make sure ingredients are well combined.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating an incredible pasta salad that’s bursting with flavor and color!
