Greek Pasta Salad with Feta, Tomato, Kalamata Olives and Sweet Basil Vinaigrette

I love this summery Greek pasta salad - the salty feta cheese and kalamata olives are a great pair with the fresh flavor of the Sweet Basil Vinaigrette. Keeps great in the fridge - so make it a day in advance.

1 lb Orecchiette Pasta (or other pasta of choice)

Cook the pasta according to package directions. When cooked, drain and run under cool water. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the olive oil. Toss well to coat the pasta in oil.
Add all remaining ingredients, except for Sweet Basil Vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine.
