ORZO Salad!
A great summer lunch, or a dinner side dish!
Orzo Salad!
Make it in Advance
Box, 16 ounces Orzo
2 Lemons
Spinach, good couple handfuls of baby spinach leaves, remove the stems, rough chop on spinach
Decent amount of Feta Cheese
Tomatos
Olive Oil
2 or 3 Garlic Cloves, sliced into slivers. More if you love it, less if you want to make the recipe wrong.
Sea Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
Options:
Red Onion, chopped
Tomato
Cucumber
Peppers
First up, in a pot, start the water boiling for the Orzo. I prefer the orzo cooked earlier, and cooled, when i work with it, so I cook it early then, prepare the rest later in the day. Let the orzo drain, and cool. Room temp is fine!
In a cast iron pan, heat some EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil), and add the slivers of garlic. Brown the garlic. NOT burned. Be careful. Let it brown, and then, remove the oil, WITH the Garlic in it, into a large bowl.



Add half the crumbled Feta cheese, MIX again.
Add the remaining half of the Orzo. Add the remaining Spinach, Crumbled Feta, mix. Add the juice of the second Lemon. Zest the second lemon on the mix. Then, stir and mix it all again.
I do not actually use Olives, Tomato, or Pepper in my Orzo Salad... but many do. Add them, during the time when you are mixing in other ingredients.
Always, I strive to give back
To the animals and birds around me
to put more plants in than I take out
And be a good steward for the world around me!

Squeeze half a lemon, strain the juice into the olive oil. I like the Pulp. I only remove, seeds. Add HALF the Orzo, and mix it all together. Add a handful of Spinach, and mix it. Zest one full lemon into the mix.

Want to have your post on the map too?
i made this for a family dinner. One of the people there who rarely compliments anything was raving over it.
AH! More food! as if I wasn't hungry enough already. But this time I know I can get my hands on all of the ingredients. This will be a perfect meal for me to take to work. Since I already love having rice during breaks. Kinda got into the habit from back home :D
