Orzo Mediterranean Salad


I just made this salad the other night and wanted to share the easy and tasty recipe with you, originally taken from an old issue of Sunset Magazine. There are no true measurements for this recipe as you really just throw everything into a bowl to suit your tastes and the number of people you are serving. This salad is perfect as the main dinner course – the orzo pasta makes it hearty, but the spinach, basil, and tomatoes keep it light and fresh, perfect for a warm summer evening! Add cooked chicken for some extra protein; I paired mine with a simple olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette.





Ingredients:
Cooked orzo pasta (just throw it in boiling water for about 10 minutes)
Spinach
Basil
Cherry tomatoes
Kalamata Olives
Feta cheese
Pine nuts
Chopped garlic (optional)
