How to Make Feta Cranberry Rigatoni Salad

  2. Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Drain the rigatoni and rinse it under cool water to stop the cooking process.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled rigatoni with feta, cranberries, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and parsley. Toss gently.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients.
  7. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
