Ingredients
For the Dressing
- ⅓ - ½ cup lemon juice
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- lemon zest of 1
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ¼ tsp garlic powder or more
For the Pasta Salad
- 1½ cup orzo
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 1 shallot minced finely
- ⅓ cup basil ribboned
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Cook the orzo according to the package instructions. I filled a big pot of salted water and brought it up to a boil before adding the orzo and cooking for 6 minutes.
- Drain and rinse the orzo under cold water.
- In a small measuring cup, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place the orzo in a large serving bowl and toss to coat with the lemon mixture. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes so the orzo can soak in the lemon flavor.
- Add the tomatoes, shallots, feta, and basil to the orzo. Toss until everything is well mixed. Enjoy immediately or chill until ready to serve.
