1. orzo

2. lemons

4. feta cheese

3. grape tomatoes

5. parsley

6. olive oil

8. salt

7. red onion

Recipe Ingredients:

Step 1: While waiting for orzo to boil, cut tomatoes, parsley, and red onion.

Here's how to make the lemon orzo salad:

Step 2: Zest and juice the lemons, then add the zest, juice, olive oil and salt to a bowl. Whisk to combine.

Step 3: When the orzo is done cooking, drain and rinse under cold water, then add it to the bowl. Add in the veggies.

Step 4: Stir the salad together. Crumble the feta cheese into the salad and stir again gently to combine. Taste the salad and add more lemon and/or salt if needed.

TIPS:

- cook the orzo "al dente" so it stays firm in the salad. - rinse the parsley well because it can be sandy! - store the lemon orzo salad covered in the fridge. Leftovers will keep 3 - 4 days.
