  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooled rigatoni, feta cheese, cranberries, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
