Instructions
Instructions
Cook your gluten-free pasta according to the package directions. You want it just tender, not mushy. Drain it and set it aside to cool.
In a big bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, minced garlic, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
When pasta is cool, toss it into the bowl with the dressing.
Add in the cucumber and grape tomatoes. Gently fold together and sprinkle feta cheese on top. Serve immediately or chill.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge. Avoid freezing for best texture.
