Feta Orzo Salad

Just an amazing summer cold dish, full of fresh/raw ingredients prepared in absolutely no time. The main ingredient is orzo, which is basically pasta in the shape of rice, which pairs perfectly with the vinaigrette & fresh veggies.

This feta orzo salad is great for prepping in advance. Ideal for taking on picnics or trips to the beach. The feta and orzo work really well together and the pepper, onion and cucumber give it a lovely crunch and some colour.
