Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
- In a clean mason jar, combine extra virgin olive oil, olive brine, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper. Seal tightly and shake for 30 seconds until well blended.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled pasta, chopped green olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Gently fold to combine.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- After chilling, give the salad a gentle toss and serve in a large bowl or individual dishes.
