Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound fusilli (spirals) pasta
  • Kosher salt
  • Good olive oil
  • 1 pound ripe tomatoes, medium-diced
  • 3/4 cup good black olives, such as kalamata, pitted and diced
  • 1 pound good feta cheese, medium-diced
  • 6 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped

For the dressing:

  • 5 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons good olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, diced
  • 1 teaspoon capers, drained
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 cup packed flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Directions

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water with a splash of oil to keep it from sticking together. Boil for 12 minutes, or according to the directions on the package. Drain well and allow to cool. Place the pasta in a bowl and add the tomatoes, olives, feta and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

For the dressing, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, capers, salt and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth.

Pour the dressing over the pasta, sprinkle with the Parmesan and parsley, and toss well.

    As I was making this recipe, I used about 1/3 the amount of feta it called for. If I would have added the amount called for, I know it would have been too much as other reviewers have suggested. The dressing was delicious. If you cut down the feta, 5 plus stars, recipe as listed.....too much feta. One of the best pasta dishes I ever made!

    This salad is awesome. I had to make one small modification. I used fresh grated cheese (both and the salad was slightly dry. I added a few tablespoons of Miracle Whip which made it less dry and wonderfully creamy. Being a cheese head from Wisconsin, I have a tendency to over-cheese things! I was missing several ingredients and normally if I don't have something on hand, I won't make the dish or will modify it. This salad was so worth the trip to the store for the missing items. I have made it several times in the past 3 weeks and I can't seem to get enough. Oh, one more thing I had to do. I had packaged sun dried tomatoes so I reconstituted them in a liquid of equal parts red wine and olive oil for about 15 minutes and then drained and chopped them. They were great. I would definitely recommend this recipe, especially if you enjoy good pasta salads. Very yummy!!!
