Ingredients
Instructions
Cook orzo in salted water according to package directions until slightly past al dente. Drain, toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, and spread on a baking sheet to cool completely.
Prepare the Greek Salad Dressing and add red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, and sea salt.
In a large bowl, combine cooled orzo, cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, feta, red onion, and olives.
Pour dressing over the salad ingredients, add half the herbs, and season with black pepper.
Gently toss everything to combine, taking care not to break up the feta or crush the tomatoes.
Let the salad rest for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Garnish with remaining herbs just before serving.
Notes
- For best results, serve at room temperature rather than cold from the refrigerator. You can prepare the salad a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
