Ingredients
- 1 lb orzo dry
- 1 English cucumber chopped
- 2½ Cups cherry tomato halved
- 1 Cup kalamata olives pitted
- 1 Large bell pepper seeds removed and diced
- 1 small red onion Chopped
- 8 oz feta cheese crumbled
- 2 Tbsp dill freshly chopped
For the Red Wine Vinaigrette:
- ¼ Cup olive oil
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 1 Tsp lemon zest, grated
- 1 Tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tsp fresh herbs like oregano, dill, parsley, finely chopped
- ½ Tsp salt plus more to taste
- ½ Tsp black pepper plus more to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the orzo, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 minutes, or until al dente.
- Drain and rinse under cold water until cool to the touch. Transfer the orzo to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small mason jar, combine the olive oil, garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice and zest, Dijon, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Secure the lid and shake well, until the ingredients are well mixed. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Add the dressing to the orzo, along with the cucumber, tomatoes, olives, red and green bell pepper, red onion, and feta.
- Toss to combine, then transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill, or serve at room temperature.
