Ingredients
dressing
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced or pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salad in a jar
- 1 cup cooked whole wheat orzo you can use leftovers, make it the night before, etc!
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 cup chickpeas
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers
- 1/2 cup diced cucumbers
- 1/2 cup sliced kalamata olives
- 1 cup sliced grape tomatoes
- 1/2 cup pickled onions
- fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Note: this salad will fit in four of these .5 liter weck jars!
dressing
- In a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, garlic, dill, oregano, salt and pepper. Continue to whisk while streaming in the olive oil. This dressing stays great in the fridge in a sealed container for a week or so, so feel free to make a double batch if desired!
salad in a jar
- If you haven't cooked the orzo yet, make it according to the directions on the package.
- Have your jars ready to go and have everything chopped and pepper before assembly. Makes it much easier!
- To build the salad, add 3 or 4 tablespoons of the dressing into the bottom of the jar. To each jar, add in about 2 tablespoons feta cheese, 1/4 cup chickpeas, 2 tablespoons roasted peppers, cucumbers and olives, a handful of fresh sliced tomatoes, some pickled red onions and fresh herbs. Top that with 2 to 3 tablespoons of cooked orzo (or more if you'd like!). Cover the jar and stick it in the fridge.
- When you're ready to eat, you can pour the salad over lettuce, or throw it in a bowl itself and go to town. Have salt and pepper on hand if you need it - I find this to have enough flavor az is!
