I found this recipe on www.allrecipes.com and made it tonight. It was delicious! I didn’t have the same exact amounts for each ingredient but worked with what I had.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked orzo pasta (I found this at Jumbo. It’s called Semi Melloni and is in the pasta section)
- 2 (6 ounce) cans marinated artichoke hearts (I used artichoke bottoms from Jumbo)
- 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
- 1 cucumber, seeded and chopped
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 (2 ounce) can black olives, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
Directions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente (the directions on the pack of orzo I used said to cook for 4 minutes); drain. Drain artichoke hearts, reserving liquid.
- In large bowl combine pasta, artichoke hearts, tomato, cucumber, onion, feta, olives, parsley, lemon juice, oregano and lemon pepper. Toss and chill for 1 hour in refrigerator.
- Just before serving, drizzle reserved artichoke marinade over salad. I just used a little of the liquid but not much. I also added a little olive oil and fresh basil.
