Greek Orzo Pasta Salad 🥗

Super easy and delicious lunch or side dish!

I love to make this😋

You can add whatever you’d like, I added tomato, cucumber, feta, and red onion to some cooked and fully cooled orzo. Mix in some tzatziki to dress it and bring it all together. Also a drizzle of olive oil.

I always use @cedarsfoods tzatziki because it’s my fav but feel free to use a different brand or make it from scratch.

Chill and serve cold ✨

Greek Orzo Pasta Salad is not just delicious, but it's also a versatile dish that you can customize based on your preferences. This pasta salad works well with various veggies, like bell peppers and olives, for added flavor. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider using whole grain orzo, which adds fiber to your meal. The key to a great pasta salad is ensuring the orzo is fully cooled before mixing in your ingredients, as this prevents sogginess. For a protein boost, you can add grilled chicken or chickpeas to make it more filling. The dressing plays an essential role in emphasizing the fresh ingredients; homemade tzatziki made with Greek yogurt, garlic, and cucumber can elevate your dish. This makes a great meal prep option, storing well in the fridge for a quick lunch or dinner. Don't forget to garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for an extra pop of flavor! Enjoy this salad chilled on a hot summer day, and impress your guests at picnics or BBQs with this aesthetically pleasing and tasty dish.
