Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely while you prepare the vegetables.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, grated carrots, diced sweet onion, chopped Kalamata olives, and bell pepper. Toss the mixture gently to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
- In a mason jar or a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, and fresh dill. Shake vigorously to blend until smooth and creamy.
- Once the pasta has cooled, transfer it into the bowl with the vegetable mixture. Pour the freshly made dressing over the pasta and veggies, and gently toss everything together.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad into an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
