This pasta salad is so simple to make, you can even skip chopping some of the veggies if you are pressed for time! First, cook the orzo according to the package instructions, about 11 minutes. When done, strain the orzo and place in a serving bowl. Drizzle the orzo with the olive oil, toss together and let cool. The oil will help prevent the pasta from sticking together when cooled.
While that’s cooling, starting chopping the vegetables. Add them to the serving bowl with the orzo and toss with the greek dressing. I like to make my pasta salads ahead of time so the flavors have time to set and come together. If you find that 1/2 cup of greek dressing isn’t enough, feel free to add more. Sometimes after pasta salads sit, especially overnight, they can get dry. Refrigerate in an airtight container.
Hope you enjoy!!
