- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup Nafsika’s Garden Feta cheese style

Instructions:
Begin by whisking together red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Ensure that the flavours meld together into a harmonious blend of deliciousness. Set aside and let the magic happen.
Cook the pasta al dente according to the package instructions. Once perfectly cooked, rinse it under cold water to halt the cooking process and maintain its delightful texture.

Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture. Ensure that every ingredient is coated with the flavoursome dressing, creating a luscious and satisfying experience with every forkful.
