Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Western Family Orzo Pasta
  • 1 tsp Western Family Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Western Family Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 Cucumber sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup Western Family Feta cut into1/4 inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup Western Family Pitted Black Olives
  • 1/2 cup Western Family Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Western Family Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Western Family Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 tsp Western Family Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Western Family Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp Western Family Dried Oregano

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add the orzo pasta and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until slightly past al dente. Drain the orzo and toss it with olive oil so that it doesn’t stick together. Allow the orzo to cool completely.
  • While the orzo is cooling, prepare the Greek Salad Dressing by adding all the ingredients together in a bowl and whisking vigorously.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the cooked orzo, cucumbers, feta, and olives. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, add oregano, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat and serve.
