Greek Orzo Salad

This Greek pasta salad with orzo is a refreshing cold pasta dish, perfect for the hot summer days, parties or even for a quick dinner. Made with orzo pasta, vegetables and lemon oregano vinaigrette, this light pasta salad is everyone’s favorite. This orzo pasta salad is perfect for picnics, trips or work, because you don’t have to heat it. The secret of this salad is „marinating” in the refrigerator at least an hour before serving so that the ingredients are cold and absorb the vinaigrette aroma.

In a small pot, cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the package. Drain the pasta, rinse and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, cut the tomatoes, cucumbers and onions into small cubes and prepare the vinaigrette. In a small jar, add olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, oregano and pepper. Cover with a lid and mix well.

Put all the ingredients together with the sauce in a bowl, mix and leave in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
