Lemon Orzo Salad with Feta

Lemon Orzo Salad with Feta – Simple to prep and very flavorful, this easy Lemon Orzo Salad with Feta is quick to toss together. It is a perfect side dish for any meal. It is loaded with fresh herbs, cucumbers, peppers, and lots of feta. Lemon juice and zest give the salad a fresh flavor for all to enjoy!

Pasta in salads is one of my favorite things. And I am not talking about Italian dressing over pasta with some cheese and veggies.

Why you will love this Lemon Orzo Salad:

• Minimal prep time. In the time it takes you to cook up the orzo, you can have everything chopped and ready to go. Once the orzo is done, it’s a matter of tossing it all in a bowl.
• Loaded with fresh veggies.  All the cucumbers and peppers plus fresh basil and parsley.
• Great for meal prepping. If you are a meal prepper, this orzo salad is a perfect option to make early in the week and then enjoy later on. The longer the salad has to sit, the more flavorful it will be!

What is Orzo?

In Italy, orzo is also known as risoni. It’s a form of short-cut pasta, shaped very similarly to rice. Orzo is traditionally made from white flour. In Italian, the word orzo actually means “barley” so it’s not as commonly used there. You find it in soups, pilafs, salads, and more. You can find it in whole grain and gluten-free varieties, but it’s definitely pasta and not a grain like rice!

Notes

• While this Lemon Orzo Salad can be eaten freshly tossed, chilling for about 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld and really soak in. If time allows, try to chill.
• If the salad has been chilling for more than a few hours, add extra olive oil and toss to add back in the moisture that may have been absorbed.
