Ingredients:

• 12 oz fettuccine pasta, cooked al dente and drained
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh snow peas, trimmed
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2/3 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried mint
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine with crumbled feta cheese, fresh snow peas, cherry tomatoes, and chopped walnuts.
