Zesty Mediterranean Orzo Salad with Feta

Cook the orzo pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking. Set aside to cool.

While the orzo cooks, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled orzo, crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.

Pour the prepared lemon herb dressing over the orzo mixture.

Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld. Stir again before serving.
