Orzo Salad

I love this fresh pasta salad chocked full of goodness!  I'll often bring this for lunch.  It's great for a summer BBQ or picnic as well.

If you don't know what orzo is, it's a small rice shaped pasta.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of orzo

1/2 red pepper

1/2 yellow pepper

red or green onion

cherry tomatoes

feta cheese

Dressing:

olive oil

juice of one lemon

salt and pepper

Cook orzo according to directions and cool.  I run the orzo under cold water to cool it quickly.

Cut red and yellow peppers into small cubes.  Dice red onion or slice green onions.  Finely chop tomatoes.  Mix all together with the orzo pasta. 

For the dressing add 2/3 olive oil to 1/3 lemon juice.  Add in salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over salad.  Gently toss all together.  Add crumbled feta cheese and gently fold just until mixed.

Enjoy!
