1 lb (450g) Fusilli pasta: any short pasta would work for this recipe
1 cup diced Red pepper (I used a large red bell pepper)
⅓ cup chopped celery (from 1 celery stalk)

1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
⅓ cup diced red onions
1 cup cucumber chopped

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Green onions to garnish
1 cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Lemon juice or as needed

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in salted water according to the directions on the packet. Pasta should still be firm to bite. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water, set aside and leave until completely cool. Make sure you drain any excess water.
  • Add the cooled pasta to a large bowl, add chopped celery, diced red bell pepper, chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese.
  • Then add the juice of one medium lemon on top of the pasta and vegetables. Add mayonnaise, dill, salt and pepper and mix until combined. Place the pasta salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to build flavour. Serve and enjoy.
