Steps

1

Boil water in a medium sized pan.
2

Prep your peppers. Wash them first, then carefully cut the stem out of each one.
3

Cut the pepper into halves from top to bottom, and rinse out what you can of the seeds.
4

Cut into slices. I personally prefer to cut them in half afterwards, but that is optional.
5

Put sliced peppers in a large bowl.
6

Slice grape tomatoes into halves and add in with peppers. Add black olives.
7

By now, you should be ready to cook your pasta. Once it is done, strain the noodles, rinse with cold water, and add it into the bowl as well.
8

In a separate bowl, stir together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried basil, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Add mixture into large bowl.
9

Stir in crumbled feta cheese.

Chill before serving. If you have a balsamic fig glaze, you should try drizzling some on top of the serving for an additional sweetness!
