A trip to Greece inspired this orzo salad with feta . . .

I’m not quite sure why.

I didn’t eat orzo in Greece!

But feta!  Yes I did!

And the freshness of the cucumbers, crunchy red peppers and parsley!

This is a super easy side dish that can be tailored to your taste preferences.   Feel free to add tomatoes, green peppers, maybe thinly-sliced red onions.

What I like most about this salad is it can be served hot, cold or at room temperature.

If I were to serve it hot, I’d saute the red peppers before tossing them in.  The feta mixed with the hot orzo is going to melt just a little — perfect!

A great choice for a pot luck!

ENJOY! – The Recipe Wench
