Italian Orzo Salad

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups orzo (cooked)
  • 1 cup spinach (chopped)
  • 1 english cucumber (diced)
  • ½ cup salami (diced)
  • ½ cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
  • ½ cup Italian dressing
  • ¼ cup red onion (diced)
  • ¼ cup olives (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium sauce pot, boil water and cook dry orzo according to package instructions.
  2. While pasta is cooking, chop and dice spinach, tomatoes, onions, and salami in small pieces. I like to chop the ingredients in different shapes to add variety to the salad. For example, cut the salami in long strips, quarter the tomatoes, and finely chop the spinach so it’s easy to get in each bite.
  3. Strain and rinse cooked orzo with cold water until chilled.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, fold all the ingredients together. Add dressing and toss until everything is well coated.
  5. Serve cold and enjoy!
