Preparation Steps
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 10-12 minutes.
- Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold running water to halt the cooking process.
- Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled rigatoni, dried cranberries, finely chopped red onion, and chopped parsley.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad mixture, gently toss to combine.
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning before chilling in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Notes
Rinse the rigatoni thoroughly after boiling to prevent mushiness. Customize the salad with your favorite ingredients or herbs.
