2) Toss red onion, black olives, Feta cheese, bell pepper and tomatoes together in a bowl.
3) Whisk together: olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, basil and oregano until well blended.
4) Toss pasta gently with vegetables and dressing mixture.
5) Refrigerate before serving.

Review:  I haven't felt well most of this week and have been incredibly tired.  I reworked the menu plan to accomodate this.  Fortunately, Mike has Wednesdays off (though he spends the entire day working on his dissertation!) and was able to make this for me before I got home.  Awesome.  He did a great job and this was really yummy.   We found the recipe on the side of our pasta box and clipped it last week.  You never know where you'll find a great recipe!

  1. Good job, Mike! That looks really good.
    I have rotini - I'll have to check out the box.

    Hope you're feeling better, April.
