Greek Inspired Orzo Salad with Feta
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!
