Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8–10 minutes, until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, drain the rotini pasta in a colander and immediately rinse it under cold running water. Allow it to drain thoroughly while you prepare the vegetables.
- As the pasta cools, chop your vegetables: dice the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces, and finely chop a handful of fresh parsley.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well blended.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled rotini pasta with the chopped vegetables and the prepared dressing. Gently toss everything together.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes
For best results, allow the salad to chill for at least 1 hour before serving to deepen flavors. Adjust dressing ingredients to suit your taste.
