Ingredients
  • 16 oz orzo I always use De Cecco for the best firm texture
  • 1 pint tomatoes halved lengthwise
  • 1 large bell pepper seeded and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 english cucumber quartered and sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1 cup feta I prefer President chunks crumbles for a creamier bite
  • 4 tbsp parsley
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin provides the best peppery finish
  • 1/4 cup red grape juice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp oregano

Notes

For best flavor, let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
