16 ounces short pasta (penne, bowtie, fusilli, etc)
1 English cucumber diced
1-pint grape tomatoes halved
1 bell pepper diced (yellow or orange)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives sliced

Combine garlic, oregano, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small jar. Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. If using a mason jar, you can simply put the lid on and shake the jar until well combined.
