Step 1.
In a 1-quart jar, combine finely chopped red onion, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cover the jar and shake vigorously to blend the dressing.
-
Step 2.
Add the rinsed chickpeas to the jar, cover, and gently shake to coat them with the dressing.
-
Step 3.
Layer the remaining ingredients into the jar in this order: halved grape tomatoes, halved Kalamata olives, cooked rotini pasta, baby arugula, and crumbled feta cheese. Do not stir or shake.
-
Step 4.
When ready to serve, turn the jar upside down and let it sit for 2 minutes so the dressing runs over the other ingredients. If the salad was refrigerated, let it stand at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before turning over.
