Ingredients

  • 2 cups dry orzo pasta
  • Premixed spiced (or make your own!)
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 cup diced peppers
  • 1/2 cup sliced olives
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • Handful fresh basil

✖️Begin by boiling your orzo pasta – it should only take 8-10 mins. Rinse under cold water once cooked, and set aside

✖️While your pasta is boiling, chop up your vegetables – this salad is so flexible so please use any combination of veggies you like! Mushrooms, jalapeños, broccoli, zucchini etc. For the twins, I usually add in chickpeas and avocado as well for some healthy fats and protein!

✖️Once pasta has cooled, add the noodles to the veggies. Mix around

For the dressing, whisk together

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1-2 cloves chopped garlic
  • Loads of S&P
  • Juice from one lemon
  • Squeeze of braggs
 

✖️Add little bits of dressing at a time, you want to taste test to make sure the dressing isn’t too over powering for the salad!
