The snow peas add crunch while the feta cheese gives this pasta salad a salty bite.

Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • 1 pound fusilli, or other short pasta

  • 4 ounces snow peas, strings removed, sliced diagonally into ½-inch-wide strips

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, chopped into ½-inch pieces

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook fusilli until al dente, according to package instructions; add snow peas during last minute of cooking. Drain pasta and peas in a colander; rinse under cold water.

Cook's Notes

This can be made up to 1 day ahead; keep covered in the refrigerator, and add the scallions and cilantro just before serving.
