Pasta Salad

I make many variations of this salad. When I am too lazy to make my own dressing, I will grab a good bottled Italian to dress it instead.

1 box of pasta, shells or bow tie
4 green onions, diced
1/2 a red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives
4 oz marinated artichoke hearts, marinade reserved
1/2 a brick of low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup of halved cherry tomatoes
salt and pepper

Prepare pasta to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking process. Place in a large bowl. Add the green onions, olives, red pepper, tomatoes, feta cheese and artichokes.Sprinkle salt and pepper over pasta and veggies. In a small bowl mix together the artichoke marinade, olive oil and red wine vinegar. Pour over pasta and veggies. Toss and serve.
