Pasta Salad Recipe - YUM!

I made a pasta salad yesterday for dinner that turned out really yummy! I thought I would put the recipe up in case anyone wants to try.

I adapted this recipe from one I found in Fitness Magazine.

Ingredients:
8 ounces of pasta (I used wheat elbow)
1 cup chopped tomato (I used 3 roma)
1 green pepper chopped
2 green onions chopped
1 can Great Northern White Beans
2 T olive oil
2 T vinegar
1 t honey
1 t Dijon mustard
1/2 t oregano
1/2 t salt
1 t garlic
feta cheese
lemon slices

Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions
2. Combine cooked pasta, beans, and chopped veggies.
3. In a seperate bowl combine olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, oregano, salt and garlic. Mix really well and pour over noodle mixture.
4. Chill until time to serve.
5. Garnish the salad with feta cheese and lemon slices. The lemon is meant to be squeezed onto the salad.

The Dijon mustard gives a nice little kick that is not too spicy. I guessed on the amount of ingredients. Season with more garlic or oregano if needed.
