Quick Pasta Salad: Orzo with Cherry Tomatoes, Feta & Scallions

This pasta salad is so quick and easy! You can use another type of pasta if you want to, but orzo happened to be what I had in my pantry. This pasta salad is crisp and refreshing with bold Mediterranean flavors. It makes a great lunch on its own or pair it with dinner for a tasty side dish. You can also add black olives or pine nuts to this recipe for even more flavor.

You Will Need:
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 cup feta, crumbled
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar

Here We Go:
  • Cook orzo according to package directions
  • Drain pasta and return to pan
  • Mix in cherry tomatoes, feta, scallions, salt, pepper, olive oil and red wine vinegar
  • Stir all ingredients together and chill in refrigerator for an hour or so before serving

Serves 4-6 as a Side
Happy Feasting!
