ORZO WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND FETA CHEESE



Orzo With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Feta Cheese image

This makes a nice side dish, lunch, or cold salad to bring to a picnic or potluck. I had some "tri-colored" orzo on hand when I made this, which added alot of nice color to this already flavorful dish. I think this tastes great warm, cold, or at room temp.
