Greek Orzo Pasta Salad

This salad is my go-to potluck offering. In certain circles, I’m not even allowed in unless I bring this salad. The recipe is purposefully vague. Use whatever you have on hand and in whatever amount you like. In the past, I’ve added celery, onions, pepperocinis, garbanzo beans, and more to this salad.

Greek Orzo Pasta Salad

Orzo
Tomatoes
Bell Peppers
Cucumbers
Kalamata Olives
Greek Dressing
Crumbled Feta Cheese

Cook the orzo until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.

While the orzo is cooking, chop all the vegetables and olives into small pieces.

Add the cooled orzo, dressing and feta cheese. Chill at least an hour, but longer is better. I usually make this the day before.

Yum! Orzo is perfect for a pasta salad because you get the taste of pasta without the heaviness of using of bigger noodles.
