This pasta salad is packed with garden fresh veggies and tossed with a bright, Lemon-Balsamic Vinaigrette, making it a perfect summer lunch or dinner. It pairs beautifully with whatever you have on the grill, especially chicken and fish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano.
Add tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and parsley; stir to combine.

Add pasta and gently combine. Fold in feta. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but up to 1 day, to allow flavors to combine.
