Instructions

1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the orzo and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2. 2. While the orzo is cooling, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the fresh parsley.
3. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
4. 4. Add the chopped vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and parsley) to the cooled orzo. Crumble the feta cheese over the top.
5. 5. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring the orzo and vegetables are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. 6. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra parsley and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
