1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

        Add the Dressing: Pour the dressing over the pasta salad. Gently toss all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

          Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve cold as a refreshing meal or side dish.

            Garnish (Optional): Just before serving, you can add extra parsley or a sprinkle of feta cheese for garnish.
