EASY WHOLE FOODS SPINACH & FETA ORZO DUPE RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook your orzo according to the package directions and then immediately rinse under cold water in your strainer. The cold water will wash off extra starch and bring the salad to temp. Add orzo to a large bowl and stir in 3 TBS olive oil to prevent pasta clumping.
• Heat 2 TBS olive oil over medium-high heat in a saucepan and cook spinach and basil leaves until wilted. About 2-3 minutes. Let cool a minute and add to bowl.
• Coarsly chop olives (mixed olives are an okay substitute) and feta cheese. Chop red onion into fine pieces. Add all three to the bowl.
• Add rice vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and give it a stir. Remember that most of the liquids will absorb into the salad overnight, add more olive oil as needed. Serve immediately or keep covered in the refrigerator for up to two days.
