Lemon Dill Orzo Broccoli Salad

Step 1

Start by preparing your orzo.  Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add orzo.  Cook according to package directions.  Drain orzo and add it back to the pot.  I like to drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.  Mix together and let cool until ready to use.  The oil will help the orzo not to stick together.

Step 2

To a large bowl, add your chopped broccoli, chickpeas, peas and red onion.  Next, add the cooled orzo in and give everything a big stir.

Step 3

Lastly, add in the feta cheese, dill, lemon zest and juice, red wine vinegar, garlic and olive oil.  Give the salad a big mix and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 4

Orzo salad can be enjoyed immediately or kept fresh in the refrigerator for about 4 days.
