Orzo is a kind of Italian pasta made with semolina. It's similar to rice in size and shape. In restaurants across the U.S., it's often served cold or in soups. I like to use orzo in salads dressed with olive oil, vinegar and other Mediterranean ingredients like green olives and kalamatas, grilled peppers and feta cheese.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked orzo pasta
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/4 cup sliced green olives stuffed with peppers and kalamatas
1/4 cup red onion
Fresh parsley, chopped and to taste
1 teaspoon dry oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Directions
