Instructions
- Cook orzo in salted water according to package directions.
- Drain artichoke hearts reserving liquid for the dressing. Chop artichokes and slice remaining vegetables.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of the artichoke marinade with Greek dressing. Toss with remaining ingredients (or make the homemade dressing recipe below).
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Dress salad generously as the orzo will soak up some of the dressing.
- For a homemade dressing, combine the following:
- 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
