Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the vegetables by halving the cherry tomatoes, slicing the Kalamata olives, dicing the cucumber, and thinly slicing the red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and rinse under cold water to cool it down and stop the cooking process.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Cover and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the pasta salad a final toss and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
