Boil the pasta in a big pot with a little salt until it's done, following the package info. Drain and cool it under cold water afterward.

Grab a little mason jar. Mix up olive oil, olive brine, minced garlic, zest from half the lemon, the juice from 1/4 of the lemon, and as much black pepper as you'd like. Screw the lid tight and shake until it blends nicely.

Toss together the pasta, chopped olives, and feta in a big bowl. Drizzle the dressing over everything and mix till it’s coated well. Adjust seasoning with more lemon, pepper, or salt if needed. Dig in and enjoy!

Use only a small pinch of salt in the pasta water since the olives and feta are already salty

Chill the salad in the fridge for half an hour before eating
