Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 11:31:22 GMT

Step 1

Begin by finely dicing up 1 cup of red onion, 1 cup of cucumber, 1 cup of grape tomatoes, 1/4 cup of basil, and 1/4 cup of parsley. Trust me, this is the most tedious part and the rest of this recipe is fairly simple!

Step 2

Open the can of chickpeas, strain the liquid out, and rinse them with water.

Step 3

Then bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 2 cups of orzo for the amount of time your package states. Normally it should take about 7-8 minutes.

Step 4

While the orzo cooks, make the salad dressing. To a medium-size bowl add 2/3 cup of olive oil, 1/3 cup of red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast, 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of cracked black pepper. Mix together.

Step 5

Pour the cooked orzo into the strainer and rinse it with cold water until it's fully cooled down.

Step 6

Add the orzo to a large bowl. Then add in all the diced vegetables, chickpeas, 1 cup of vegan feta cheese, and all of the dressing. Mix together and enjoy!

Step 7

Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed immediately or the next day.
