Surdyk's Greek Orzo Salad image

Very nice pasta salad that I found on Midwest Living's site. Add some meat if you would like a more substantial main dish salad--I added cubed grilled chicken breast to the leftover salad and it was very good. Cook time includes chill time.

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces dried orzo pasta (1 1/4 cups)
8 ounces feta cheese (cubed or coarsely crumbled)
1 cup chopped roma tomato
1/2 cup chopped pitted kalamata olive
1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil
1 tablespoon snipped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced (I used 2)
1/2 teaspoon snipped fresh oregano
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain again. Put in a large bowl, cover and chill for 1-2 hours.
  • Add feta, tomatoes, olives, basil, and parsley to the chilled pasta and stir to combine.
  • For the dressing, place olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano in a jar with a screw-top lid. Shake vigorously to combine, then pour over pasta mixture and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper.
