In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add your chosen pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool down the pasta.

While the pasta cools, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, and onion. For those using feta cheese, crumble it into desired-sized pieces.

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, chopped vegetables, olives, and herbs. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss until everything is well coated.

Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary! You can always add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.

Let the pasta salad cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors before serving.
