This easy Lemon Orzo Salad with Feta is tossed in a lemon dressing and is loaded with fresh vegetables and herbs. It's a go-to salad for summer celebrating!
Boil 8 ounces of orzo pasta as specified on the package. Once fully cooked, pour orzo into a fine-mesh strainer and rinse with cool water. Set aside.
To a large bowl add the lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until it is emulsified.
Add the cooked orzo pasta, vegetables (sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, green onion tops, diced red onions), minced herbs (dill, parsley, and mint), and feta cheese. Toss until everything is well coated and combined.
Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight to allow the dressing to soak into the orzo and the flavors to further develop. Toss again before serving. NOTE: This salad can also be served immediately.
