A favorite summer porch meal. Easy and fast to throw together—and surprisingly hearty for any season. Also great to bring to a party.

Ingredients:
- pasta
- hot soppressata, sliced small
- cucumber, cubed
- grape tomatoes, halved
- black or kalamata olives, roughly chopped (or both)
- italian parsley, chopped
- shallot, sliced thin
- feta cheese
- balsamic vinegar
- extra virgin olive oil
- lemon juice
Directions:
There’s not much direction for this one: toss it all into a bowl and dress to taste. If you take out the cheese in this recipe (or forget to add it), this will lose a lot of its depth and it will not stay on your fork.
For ratios: you probably want more stuff than pasta, but to each their own.
