Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain thoroughly. This keeps the pieces from sticking together.
In a large bowl, toss the cooled pasta with the corn, bell pepper, cucumber, olives, and cubed cheese.
Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried mint, and salt. Pour over the salad and toss gently. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
