Fresh Tomato Pasta Salad

Time for fresh vine ripe tomatoes here in North Carolina. So this afternoon I made this great pasta salad for lunch. This is dish works well all by it's self or you could also bring it as a side dish for a large gathering (like a summer time cook out).

2 cups uncooked curly pasta (I used whole wheat fusilli)
4 Large vine ripe tomatoes (chopped)
1 yellow bell pepper (chopped)
1 cucumber (chopped)
3 tbsp fresh mint leaves (chopped)
1 tbsp fresh oregano (chopped)
15 kalamata olives (pitted and chopped)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small red onion sliced
1 tbsp crushed garlic
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 package crumbled feta cheese
salt and fresh ground pepper

Boil pasta, drain and set a side. Mix the tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, mint. Oregano and olive is a large mixing bowl. Heat oil in a skillet. Saute onions and garlic for a few minutes till onions soften. Mix in the vinegar. Pour hot mixture in with the vegetables and toss. Top with feta and salt and pepper.
