GREEK ORZO SALAD



Greek Orzo Salad image

Tart and refreshing, this side salad is a big hit at Judy Roberts' Las Vegas, Nevada home. With all the tasty toppings-including red onion, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese and a zesty dressing-you'd never know it has just 7 grams of fat. "Tiny pasta called orzo gives it extra interest," Judy notes.

MAKE AHEAD GREEK ORZO SALAD



Make Ahead Greek Orzo Salad image

This came from my mom after I begged for the recipe. Can me made a day ahead, I think it gets better the longer it sits.

Provided by Marianneee

Categories     Greek

Time 20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb orzo pasta
1 lb feta
6 -7 ounces kalamata olives (about 6.5 oz of actual olives)
12 -16 ounces Baby Spinach
10 -15 large basil leaves (can leave out)
1/2-1 whole red onion, diced (add as much as you like)
5 fresh mint leaves (can leave out)
1 cup lemon juice, fresh
1 cup olive oil (I put 1/2c of olive oil and 1/2c of the oil from the olive jar)
1/2-1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare salad dressing.
  • Roll the basil and mint into a cigar like roll and slice thin as you can.
  • Dice the red onion.
  • Cook the orzo until it is al dente, about 9 minutes and drain.
  • While it is still hot stir in the salad dressing, then 1/2 of the crumbled feta.
  • Next stir in the spinache, mint/basil, olives and red onions. You do not need to chop the spnache as the heat from the pasta will wilt it.
  • Let it sit for a couple of hours, or even better over night.
  • Before you serve it, stir in the remaining feta and re-adjust the salt and pepper. If it seems a little dry add some olive oil.
  • Note: Go light on the salt as the feta is salty and you will be adding feta at 2 different times.
