Instructions
Once the pasta is cooked strain it, and place it in a cold water bath to cool the pasta and remove any excess starch so it doesn't stick together.
Prep all the items, slicing the cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and onions. Chop oregano and parsley if using fresh herbs (I prefer fresh herbs, but use dry when unavailable).
In a large bowl add the pasta, chicken, and other items.
Drizzle the oil, vinegar, herbs, salt, and pepper. (alternatively, you can mix the dressing together then pour it on, I usually eyeball it, give it a taste, and add more if needed).
Mix well and chill until cold for the best flavor for about 4 hours.
