DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook per package instructions, or until al dente, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain the orzo and add to large serving bowl to cool. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil & toss so pasta doesn’t stick together.
Chop all veggies and herbs.
Prepare the dressing in a separate mixing blow by combining all ingredients and whisk thoroughly. Add more salt & pepper to taste.
In the large serving bowl with the cooked orzo, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, onions, olives & feta cheese. Then add the dressing and toss to coat.
