A vibrant Mediterranean Orzo Salad packed with fresh ingredients and flavors, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Orzo Pasta: Start by boiling water in a pot and add a pinch of salt. Once the water is at a rolling boil, add your orzo pasta. Cook it according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. After cooking, drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.
  2. Combine Fresh Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled orzo with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and freshly chopped parsley.
  3. Whisk Together the Dressing: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  4. Dress the Salad: Pour your freshly made dressing over the combined ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together until well-coated.
  5. Serve & Enjoy: This salad can be enjoyed right away, but it’s better when chilled in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Notes

For best flavor, let the salad chill for a while. Can be paired with grilled chicken or fish.
