Cook 8 to 10 ounces of bow tie pasta until aldente, then toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Chop red bell peppers, seedless cucumber, flat parsley, sliced black olives, tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces and combine in a large bowl.

In a mason jar, combine 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dill, 2 large cloves of garlic, juice from 1.5 fresh lemons, a pinch of fine sea salt, and black pepper.

Shake the jar to emulsify the dressing until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture and toss to combine.

Add Mediterranean blend feta cheese on top before serving.
