Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups tri-color spiral pasta, uncooked
10 -15 cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
2 -4 tbsp black olives, canned sliced
1 large cucumber, sliced and quartered (peel , if desired)
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup italian dressing
1 tbsp almonds, sliced (optional)

Directions:

Cook rotini as directed on package to al dante; Drain and run pasta under cold water.
Drizzle italian dressing over pasta, mixing slowly so as not to break apart the pasta pieces. Add in tomatoes, black olives, cucumber, and 5 tablespoons of the feta cheese. Continue mixing ingredients until well-coated.
Sprinkle remaining feta cheese over pasta mixture and top with almonds. (Instead of almonds I've used Melissa's Salad Sprinkles. This could not be located in RecipeZaar as a recognized ingredient but I wanted to record it in the directions as another option for a salad topper.).
NOTE: If you don't care for feta cheese, try using Parmesan cheese instead. It tastes just as good and gives the salad a somewhat different flavor. Use only four to five tablespoons instead and mix in as given above.
