Note

For extra flavor, add about 2 teaspoons of minced garlic to the dressing mixture.

Ensure the feta cheese is drained well before crumbling to prevent the dressing from becoming too watery.

This dish can be served warm or cold. If serving cold, ensure the noodles are rinsed with cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors may intensify as the dish sits.
