Cook the kritharaki in salted water according to the package instructions, then drain, reserving about 100 ml of the cooking water and setting aside. Drain the pasta. Wash and trim the vegetables and cut into bite-sized pieces. Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan and fry the onions and vegetables, stirring constantly. Deglaze with balsamic vinegar and the cooking water. Add the honey, rosemary, and thyme, then cover and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. The vegetables should still have some bite. Once cooked, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and stir in the capers and pasta. Let cool slightly. Cut the feta cheese into small cubes and mix into the salad along with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. If you increase the amount of vegetables, the salad will easily serve three people. Since we’re eating it together (a man and a woman), we like to split the portions 2/3 and 1/3. This means the man gets 8 points and the woman gets 5 points. A total of 15.5 points, with 2 portions, each gets 8 points, and with 3 portions, each gets 5 points.
