Orzo Salad
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tb finely chopped fresh dill
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Pound orzo pasta, cooked al dente and drained
6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1 large yellow bell pepper
1 large red bell pepper
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and quartered
2 scallions, finely sliced
1 Tb finely chopped fresh oregano
Whisk together the zest, juice, oil, dill and garlic, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the pasta, cheese, peppers, olives and scallions together in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over and fold and mix thoroughly to combine. Add the oregano and season with salt and pepper to taste.
The recipe is easily halved, and you can always leave out the olives. Hope everyone enjoys their Memorial Day with swimming and flip flops, salty snacks and lemonade.Mix the pasta, cheese, peppers, olives and scallions together in a large bowl.
