Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow it to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, black olives, parsley, basil, and feta cheese.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the pasta salad a final toss and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with a few extra basil leaves and a sprinkle of feta cheese for an extra pop of color and flavor.
