Pasta Salad With Feta and Cherry Tomatoes
(Preparation 10 minutes)

6 cups cooked small pasta noodles (such as macaroni or rotini), cooled
2 scallions, diced
1 medium carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
Handful fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
8 ounces feta cheese, finely crumbled
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons all-fruit strawberry jam
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine the pasta, scallions, carrot, tomatoes and cucumber in a
large serving bowl. Toss well. Add the cilantro and feta cheese and
toss to combine.

To make the dressing, combine remaining ingredients in a blender and
puree until quite smooth. Dress the salad with all the dressing and
toss to coat evenly. Let sit 10 minutes to allow flavors to combine.

Makes 6 servings.
