This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party, and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together, and the dressing had soaked into the pasta.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover roasted zucchini and tomatoes, and they worked perfectly in this salad. I also added some chopped fresh basil, which gave it a nice flavor boost.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the tomatoes and the tanginess of the feta cheese are a perfect match. I also like the addition of the olives, which give it a nice salty touch.
