Boil a pot of salted water and cook 8 oz of pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes for most pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, dice 1 cup of mixed vegetables, including cucumber and bell pepper, and slice 1/2 cup of olives if not pre-sliced.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it using a colander and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, 1 cup of diced vegetables, 1/2 cup of sliced olives, and 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese.
Pour 1/2 cup of Italian dressing over the pasta and veggie mixture, and add 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
Chill the pasta salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy your refreshing pasta salad!
