Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups orzo uncooked
- 6 ounces marinated artichoke hearts juices reserved
- ½ English cucumber diced
- 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
- ½ cup kalamata olives sliced and pitted
- ⅓ cup crumbled Feta cheese
- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- ½ cup Greek dressing or to taste
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
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.
