Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz spaghetti
- 12 oz cherry tomatoes, red and yellow, sliced in half
- 2 medium cucumbers, sliced
- ⅓ cup red onion, chopped
- ⅓ cup black olives, sliced
- ⅓ cup green olives, sliced
- 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook 16 oz spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large bowl, whisk together ¼ cup lemon juice, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Add sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, chopped red onion, sliced black olives, and sliced green olives to the bowl with the dressing. Mix thoroughly and let marinate while pasta cooks; tomatoes will release juices.
- Add drained spaghetti and 4 oz crumbled feta cheese to the bowl. Toss everything to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper or lemon juice if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
For best flavor, prepare ahead and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving. Use thin spaghetti for quicker cooking and better salad texture. Substitute feta with another cheese if preferred.
