PW Pasta Salad with tomatoes, zucchini, and feta


Shawn and I wanted something light, quick and fresh for dinner the other night.  I've been wanting to try this Pioneer Woman recipe for a while.  It was exactly what we were looking for and would be a great meal for a summer BBW with some grilled chicken or fish.

12 ounces Farfalle (bowtie) pasta (I used orecchiette pasta)
2 T. olive oil
1 whole lemon (more to taste)
salt
fresh groun black pepper
2 whole zucchini, cut into small wedges
10 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
6 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Cook pasta and drain.  Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Stir in chopped tomatoes, zucchini, parsley and feta.  Toss salad and put in fridge.  Best if refrigerated several hours.  Garnish with feta cheese and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
