Description

This is a very easy summer meal to make. The only cooking involved is boiling the orzo. Tastes good the second day and even the third!

Ingredients

  • 1 package Orzo
  • 1 container Basket Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
  • 2 whole Medium Cucumbers, Peeled And Diced
  • 1 can Garbanzo Beans Drained
  • 1 whole Lemon, Halved
  • 1 whole Lime, Halved
  • ¼ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Freshly Ground Sea Salt
  • Freshly Ground Pepper
  • ⅓ cups Basil, Chopped Fine
  • ⅔ cups Feta Cheese, Crumbled

Preparation

Cook the orzo according to package directions. (Bring water to a boil, add in the orzo, and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente). Drain orzo. Rinse with cold water to cool down. Combine with tomatoes, cucumber, and garbanzos in a large bowl.

Juice both lemon halves and both lime halves into a small bowl, add the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Add half to the orzo mixture.

Toss well, taste, and adjust citrus juice, oil or seasonings to taste (you may need to add more salt and the rest of the citrus juices). Add the basil and feta and toss gently until everything is thoroughly mixed.

Serves 6-8.
