Lemon Pasta Salad with Tomatoes and Feta Cheese

12 ounces Penne pasta
2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup of Feta cheese crumbled (I use reduced fat)
1 cup of Green onions, chopped

Ingredients for Vinaigrette
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons Lemon juice
3 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons of grated Lemon peel

In a jar with a lid add all the ingredients for the vinaigrette and shake really well and then add salt and pepper to taste.  Then let that sit and marinate for a little bit.

Cook the Penne pasta in salted water and cook until tender.  Drain and rinse the Penne with cold water, then make sure you drain again so the pasta isn't too wet.  Then transfer the pasta to a large bowl and add all the veggies and Feta cheese, then dress with the vinaigrette and toss to coat.  I make it a couple of hours or a day in advance so it has time for all the flavors to come together.

Enjoy!!!!
