Orzo Recipe!

Ok, so I have been semi-obsessed with stalking food blogs recently and stumbled upon this fabulous Orzo Salad recipe from Bakin' n Eggs. I made it last night and it DID NOT disappoint. I added shrimp to mine for protein so I could eat as a full meal and it was so wonderful. Also ate for lunch today and probably have 6 servings left, ha! I wanted to share...it's easy but takes time cutting everything up. SO worth it though!



I paired it with fresh basil (thanks Lauren!), fresh mozzarella, and vine tomatoes. Absolutely delicious and healthy!

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked orzo
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (rehydrated in hot water if necessary)
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons green olives, chopped
2 tablespoons black olives, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Cook orzo according to package directions and drain. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Chill before serving.

Yield: 4 servings
