Instructions

Step 1

In a jar, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste, set aside.

Step 2

Cook orzo according to directions listed on package. Drain and let cool (about 5 minutes. They'll start to stick to each other a bit but that's fine the dressing will break it up).

Step 3

Add all of the salad ingredients, including cooked orzo, to a large bowl and toss. Pour dressing over top and toss to evenly coat.

Step 4

Store in refrigerator, serve within a few hours for best results.
