I don't know about you but in our house, cold salad side dishes are on the menu everyday. Something off the grill and something out of the fridge - YUM!
I like to make something first thing in the morning and pop it into the fridge for lunch or dinner.
1 cup of uncooked orzo pasta
1/4 cup of pitted greenn olives, sliced, chopped or left whole
1 cup of diced or crumbled feta
3 TBSP of chopped FRESH parsley
3 TBSP of chopped FRESH dill
1 chopped tomato
1/4 cup olive oil, virgin preferably
2 TBSP lemon juice
S & P to taste
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. (should taste like the sea!)
Cook Orzo for 8 minutes, (al dente)
Drain and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process
Transfer to a pretty bowl and mix in olives, feta, parsley, dill and tomato
In a mixing cup or bowl, whisk oil and lemon juice
Pout over pasta and mix well
Season with salt and pepper.
Chill til ready to devour!
