Yield: Serves 4
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 1/2 cups cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 120 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
- salt & black pepper to taste
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook uncovered, over high heat until al dente, cooked through but still a bit firm, stirring occasionally (or cook the orzo according to the package directions). Drain in a colander and set aside.
Combine orzo, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley and oregano in a mixing bowl.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper to taste. Pour over the salad and stir.
Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve at room temperature.
