Instructions
Make the salad:
- Start by cooking the orzo pasta following the package directions until al dente. I cooked my orzo in salty water for 7 minutes.
- Prepare your veggies: Roughly chop arugula, cut cherry tomatoes and olives in halves, chop sun-dried tomatoes, finely chop parsley. You can also add chopped red onions for an extra pungent note. Break feta cheese with your fingers and add it to the veggies together with cooled orzo.
Make the dressing:
- Prepare the dressing: Combine olive oil with lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt and freshly ground black pepper in a jar and give it a good shake. Pour the dressing over your salad to coat and mix it all together. Add more salt and pepper to taste if you need. Enjoy!
Notes
- Serve this Greek orzo salad as a side dish for BBQ or as a main for lunch. You can refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
