1

Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil.

2

Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

Immediately drain the cooked pasta and rinse it thoroughly under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent it from becoming mushy.

4

Transfer the drained, cooled pasta into a large mixing bowl.

5

Drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil and stir well to ensure the noodles do not stick together.

Add the cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, diced green bell pepper, diced red onion, Feta cheese, chopped pepperoncini, quartered cucumber, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl.

7

Toss everything together until well combined.

Shake your Italian dressing well and pour it evenly over the pasta and vegetable mixture.

Stir thoroughly until every ingredient is nicely coated.

10

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes before serving.
