1 1/2 cups orzo pasta
1 recipe Greek Salad Dressing
1 TBSP red wine vinegar
1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
1/2 TSP oregano
1/4 TSP sea salt
2 Persian cucumbers, halved vertically, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained, and rinsed
4 ounces feta cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives

Freshly ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, or until slightly past al dente.
Drain the orzo and toss it with a little olive oil, so that it doesn't stick together.
Spread onto a baking sheet to cool.
Prepare the Greek Salad Dressing and add in the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, and sea salt.
In a large bowl, toss together the cooked orzo, cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, feta, red onion, and olives.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad, add half the herbs, season with freshly ground black pepper, and toss to coat.
Garnish with the remaining herbs and serve.
