365 in 365 - #24 - Greek Style Orzo Salad

One evening, I was in the mood for a Greek style salad, with all the classic ingredients and flavors but with a bit more body to it.  I didn't want rice but did want something like it, so I decided on orzo.  I made this to accompany what I call a Greek Island burger (coming soon).  

This salad has all the great textures and flavors in it...crunchy, cool, sweet, tart, salty and smooth.  

Greek Style Orzo Salad

1 medium Red Onion, diced and rinsed under cold water

1 package grape tomatoes, sliced

1 English Cucumber, chopped

12 ounces diced or crumbled Feta Cheese

6 cups of cooked Orzo

1/2 cup of Greek olives, sliced 

1 1/2 cups Greek style dressing, or amount to taste

Kosher salt and peper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, toss and serve over mixed greens. 

This is great as a light meal of its own or with meat as a side dish.

Enjoy!
