Orzo Salad with Cucumbers Feta and Dill

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup orzo

  • ¼ cup feta

  • Dill

  • ½ large cucumber Or 3 mini cucumbers

  • Juice from 2 lemons

  • ¼ cup EVOO

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:

  1. Cook the orzo according to directions.

  2. I like to add in some turmeric while the orzo cooks to give it a little yellow color.

  3. Strain the orzo and add in the lemon and EVOO mixture while still hot. MIX.

  4. Let the orzo cool completely before adding cucumbers, feta and dill, or else it will become soggy.

  5. If using a large cucumber, seed it first.

  6. Chop the cucumber into bite-size pieces.

  7. Once orzo is cool mix together orzo with cucumber, dill and feta.

  8. Store in the fridge. This is a bright and light dish.
