Instructions
- Prepare the pasta: Fill a large bowl (big enough to hold cooked pasta) halfway with ice water to make a cold-water bath. Boil pasta to package instructions.
- Drain pasta, rinse with cold water and shock the pasta by adding it to the cold-water bath to get it cold fast. Once cold, drain the pasta, transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
- In a jar or bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients (olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper). Shake or whisk the dressing to combine. Taste the dressing and adjust salt, pepper or other flavors to taste.
- In the bowl with the pasta, add cucumber, roasted peppers, red onion, olives, feta cheese, dill, and parsley. Pour dressing in the bowl and stir everything together. Gently fold in the mackerel.
- Serve at room temperature or chill pasta salad before serving.
