Description

Orzo salad recipe is perfect for summer picnics and cookouts! Feta cheese, olives, and a Greek dressing fill it with bold flavor.

Ingredients
  • 1.5 Regina Rice
  • 1 tablespoon Greek Salad dressing
  • 1 Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon Oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Cucumbers
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
  • 1 Feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup Red onions (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup olives
  • Basil
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the Regina Rice Pasta according to the package directions, or until slightly past al dente. Drain the orzo and toss it with a little olive oil, so that it doesn’t stick together. Spread onto a baking sheet to cool.
  2. Prepare the Greek Salad Dressing and add in the vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, and sea salt.
  3. In a large bowl, toss together the cooked orzo, cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, feta, red onion, and olives. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, add half the herbs, season with freshly ground black pepper, and toss to coat. Garnish with the remaining herbs and serve.
