Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Dressing:

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Salad:

  • 1 (16 ounce) package gemelli pasta

  • 3 cups firmly packed baby spinach leaves

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 (6 ounce) container crumbled feta cheese

  • ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved

  • ¾ medium English cucumber, peeled and diced

  • ½ large red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add gemelli and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 11 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain again.

  3. Transfer gemelli to a large bowl. Add spinach, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, cucumber, and red onion. Toss with dressing and serve.
