1. Prepare the Lemony Vinaigrette: Dice 2-3 shallots as finely as you can and add them to the bottom of a dressing jar. Add 3-4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar, 2 crushed garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Season with sea salt, fresh black pepper, and approximately 1/2 teaspoon each of oregano and sumac (or to taste). Shake or whisk everything together until well combined. Store in the fridge for 3-5 days.
2. Prepare the Pasta Salad: Cook your preferred pasta according to package directions. Chop bell peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
3. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta with the chopped bell peppers, zucchini, black kalamata olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta cheese.
4. Just before serving, pour the prepared Lemony Vinaigrette over the pasta salad and toss to combine. Optional additions include artichokes, eggplant, basil, and sundried tomatoes.
