Add the cooked and cooled bow tie pasta to the bowl of vegetables and feta cheese. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.

Before serving, give the salad a final toss to redistribute the dressing. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if you would like.
