Notes

  • I recommend you cook the orzo pasta al dente first
  • I used cubed feta cheese. You can buy a block of feta and basically cut it into mini cubes. 
  • Some supermarkets sell cubed feta cheese. If you don't a it available near you, you can always use crumbled feta. 
  • You want your veggies diced and sliced fairly fine, so you get a hit of everything in each bite!
  • I suggest you mix all the salad ingredients first with the dressing. Then put in the crumbled feta and lightly toss with the salad.
