Chef's Notes
Do not drown the pasta in dressing all at once, my friends! Pasta is like a sponge; it drinks up liquid as it sits, so add your dressing in stages to keep the texture pristine.
Pro Tip
Make this salad a few hours in advance! Letting it rest in the refrigerator allows the garlic, lemon, and feta to throw a party and deeply marry their flavors.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump boiling hot pasta straight into the bowl with the fresh cucumbers and cheese without cooling it first, you will end up with a sad, melted feta swamp and warm, soggy vegetables that belong in the trash.
