This Mediterranean orzo salad is easy, fresh, healthy, and quick! It's bursting with fabulous Greek flavors and makes a nutritious side dish or light meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked orzo
  • 1 (10 ounce) package little tomatoes (grape or cherry) (cut into halves)
  • 3-4 mini cucumbers (or 1/2 English cucumber) (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (pitted & cut into halves)
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped red onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • For garnish: fresh parsley (optional, to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil a large salted pot of water and cook the orzo al dente according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, prep your other ingredients.

  3. 3

    Once the orzo has cooled, add all ingredients to a large bowl. I suggest starting with 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, tossing the salad, then adding more if needed. Season with salt & pepper as needed (I am generous with both). Garnish with fresh parsley if using.
