Lent is over, thank goodness. No meat on Fridays really puts a kink in my cooking. It’s funny because we don’t eat that much meat, but it seems like I always want to make meals with meat on Fridays during Lent. So in order to assure I don’t, I plan my meals ahead of time during Lent. Like this Orzo Greek Salad.

It popped into my head and I thought it would be delicious. I made sure to taste it the entire way though because I just wasn’t sure about if it would work out or not. But it ended up being even more delicious than I could have imagined.

There are olives in this, and the recipe needs them. I tried it without because I thought they might be a little sour, but the recipe is pretty bland without it.

Orzo Greek Salad Ingredients:

• 16 oz. box of orzo
• 8 mini peppers (mixed red and orange)
• 1/2 container grape tomatoes
• 1/2 cup olives
• 1/2 cup arugula, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1/4 cup feta, chopped

How To Make Orzo Greek Salad:

Make the orzo according to the package.

While that’s cooking, chop the peppers very small (similar to the size of an uncooked piece of orzo). Sauté the peppers on the stove (without oil) for about ten minutes.

Drain the orzo. Add the cooked peppers to the orzo.

Chop the tomatoes longways (making three to four slices per tomato). Stir them in to the orzo mix. Chop the olives in the same way and add them as well. Finely chop the arugula and add it to the mix.

Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper and stir it together.

Crumble the feta into the orzo mixture.

Serve warm or cold.

This is seriously the best orzo salad ever. Since you can serve it cold, you can make it ahead of a potluck and bring it with you without worrying about heating it up.
