Ingredients
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 2 cups spinach chopped, fresh leaves
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- ¼ cup pine nuts toasted
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- Cook the orzo pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Add the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pine nuts to the bowl with the cooked orzo.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and champagne vinegar until well combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Pour the olive oil and vinegar dressing over the orzo salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more olive oil, vinegar, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
- Chill the orzo salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the chilled orzo salad as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
