Fresh Orzo Salad

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Orzo
• 1 15-oz can Chickpeas
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 Cucumber
• 1/2 Red onion
• 3/4 cup Feta
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1 Lemon
• 1 tsp Oregano

Steps

1. Boil the orzo until just al dente, then rinse under cold water to stop the cooking — warm orzo drinks dressing and turns gummy.
2. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and salt into a bright dressing.
3. Toss the cooled orzo with the chickpeas, halved tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thin-sliced onion.
4. Crumble the feta over the top in big, proud chunks.
5. Dress generously and rest 15 minutes so the grains drink it up.
6. Taste and re-season; cold salads always need more salt than you think.
