Greek Pasta Salad

This weekend we travelled to my hometown for a surprise birthday party for wonderful friend of mine. We had a fantastic time - ate, drank and laughed a lot!  My contribution to the great spread of food was a gigantic Greek pasta salad.  I needed something that was quick to make an could transport easily. I will absolutely make this again.

Ingredients
2 boxes smart pasta (any shape you wish), cooked, drained and cooled
3/4 bottle light kraft Greek and feta salad dressing
1 container cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1 block feta cheese, crumbled

Method
Cook pasta until its almost done.  When making pasta salad you always want to under cook the noodles since they will absorb the dressing and will become mushy if cooked all the way.  Cool in fridge. Mix in everything but the dressing.  Add dressing just before serving.
