Take a deep cooking pot and fill it with water. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, sprinkle 1 tbsp of salt over the water to boil the pasta.

Add 2 cups of farfalle(bowtie pasta) to the water.

Boil the pasta for 10-12 minutes or according to the package instructions.

Once cooked, drain the pasta and wash it with cold water. Keep the pasta aside for later use.

Take a mixing bowl and pour ⅓ cup of olive oil into it.

Add 3 tbsp of lemon juice and 2 tbsp of white vinegar to the bowl.

Using a garlic press, mince 2 garlic cloves and add them to the mixture.

Sprinkle 1 tsp of salt and 1 ½ tbsp of sugar over the dressing.

Season the mixture with ½ tsp of oregano and ½ tsp of mixed herbs.

Add 2 tsp of Dijon mustard and ½ tsp of black pepper to the dressing.

Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined.

Take ½ medium-sized English cucumber and slice it lengthwise in half. Slice those halves again, and then dice the cucumbers into small bite-sized pieces.

Slice 1 small-sized capsicum into thin strips and then chop the strips into small pieces.

Cut 10-12 cherry tomatoes in half.

Peel and slice 1 small-sized red onion into small pieces.

In a large serving bowl, add the boiled and cooled pasta.

Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, ¼ cup of sliced black olives, and the diced English cucumber.

Sprinkle ½ cup of cubed feta cheese over the salad.

Add the diced capsicum and sliced red onion to the mixing bowl.

Top it with 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and 1 tablespoon chopped basil for a burst of freshness.

Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta and salad.

Using a pair of tongs, gently toss the salad until all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
