By

This is incredibly delicious! I was a little bashful with the crushed red pepper, added some sliced olives and wilted spinach. Love it!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces orzo (1⁄2 box)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1-1/4 pounds small zucchini (3 to 4), cut into thin half-moons
  • 8 ounces Feta, crumbled (2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (just short of a .7 oz pkg)

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the orzo according to the package directions. Drain and run under cold water to cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, red pepper, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the zucchini and let marinate, tossing occasionally, for 20 minutes.

Add the orzo, Feta, and dill to the zucchini mixture and toss to combine.
