Ingredients

  • 9 oz (250g) pasta (rotini, fusilli, or penne)
  • 7 oz (200g) fresh strawberries, quartered
  • 3.5 oz (100g) crumbled feta cheese
  • 3.5 oz (100g) cucumber, sliced
  • 3.5 oz (100g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 oz (30g) red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (50g) toasted walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup (20g) baby spinach

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Toast walnuts in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Let it cool completely.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard in a bowl to make the dressing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooled pasta, walnuts, onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, feta, spinach, and arugula.

Notes

  • Swap walnuts with pecans or almonds for variety.
  • Add grilled chicken or chickpeas for more protein.
  • Try raspberry vinaigrette for a sweeter twist.
  • Use dairy-free feta to make it vegan-friendly.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days; best served cold.
