Vegan Mediterranean Orzo Salad

Step 1

Cook the orzo: Place orzo in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook according to package directions. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then drain well and drizzle with oil. Set aside.

Step 2

Make the dressing: In a small/medium bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together. Adjust flavors as needed. It might taste a little tangy or salty, but it will be spread over a lot of ingredients, so keep that in mind.

Step 3

Put it together: In a large bowl, add the orzo, onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, artichokes, and basil. Now pour the dressing over everything and gently toss to combine. Now add half of the vegan feta and gently toss again. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Top with the remaining feta and extra basil. Serve immediately or let marinate for a few hours in the fridge.
