Chop zucchinis into bite sized pieces.
10
Give the olives a rough chop.
11
Leave the cherry tomatoes whole, do not chop or cut in half unles you would prefer to have them cut up.
12
Once all of the veggies have been washed and chopped into bite sized pieces put in a large bowl and add the feta cheese if desired.
13
When pasta has cooled add to the veggies. At this point you can add half of the bottle of dressing or set in the fridge and chill until ready to serve. If you're not going to serve immediately it would be best to not add the dressing as the pasta will soak it up and end up dry -- then you'll need to add the rest of the dressing at the time of serving.

This is a nice change from the traditional mac salad or potatoe salad served during bbq's.
