Mediterranean pasta salad

You guys, this recipe was SO GOOD and lasted me a few days to get me through the work week! Seriously, I ate it all the way up🤤 Here's how you make it:

Pasta salad:

12 oz pasta (I used rotini whole wheat)

1 can chickpeas - drained, rinsed, and towel dried

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 cucumber, diced

1/2 cup sliced Kalamata olives

Spinach

Feta cheese

Dressing:

1/3 cup olive oil

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tsp dijon mustard

1 clove minced garlic

1/2 tsp oregano

Juice from 1/2 lemon

salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to package directions. Roast chickpeas at 425F for 20-30 mins, depending on how crispy you want them. Add all dressing ingredients to a jar and shake. Add pasta, veggies, spinach, chickpeas, olives, and cheese to a large bowl and pour dressing over top (you may not want to use all the dressing - if that's the case, store for later use). Mix well and enjoy!
