Ingredients
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then make the pasta following the directions on the package, giving it an extra minute or 2 so it will be soft even after refrigeration.
Drain the cooked pasta, rinse it with cold water and put it in a large bowl.
Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, artichoke hearts, red onion, black olives, fresh parsley, fresh mint, feta cheese, salt and pepper to the cooled orzo.
Pour in the lemon juice and dressing and toss to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed, adding more salt, pepper, herbs and/or lemon juice.
Either serve it now or chill it for an hour to allow the pasta more time to soak up the flavors.
Garnish with more fresh herbs, if liked.
