Instructions

Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Blanch broccoli in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer to ice water. Drain and pat dry.
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper for dressing.
Combine pasta, broccoli, red onion, and feta in a large bowl.
Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to combine.
Adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Blanch broccoli briefly to maintain crunch. Use good-quality feta for creaminess. Toss with dressing while pasta is warm for better flavor absorption. Store in fridge up to 3 days; best served cold or at room temp.
