Mediterranean Orzo Salad

Step 1

Cook the orzo pasta according package instructions (mine took about 8 minutes). Drain and cool briefly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grape tomatoes, green onions, bell peppers, parsley, dill, olives and capers (hold the feta for now). Add the orzo pasta.

Step 3

Make the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano and a good pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk to combine.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until well combined and the orzo pasta is well coated with the dressing.

Step 5

Top with pieces of creamy feta cheese. Cover and refrigerate for a bit before serving.
