Orzo Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 cups dry orzo
  • One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 25) grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup pitted and halved kalamata olives
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Handful of fresh mint, torn

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the stock, cover and bring to a boil. Then add the orzo and cook, stirring frequently, until al dente, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the orzo in a colander and allow to cool completely.
In a large bowl, toss together the orzo, chickpeas, tomatoes, feta, olives, vinegar, oil, onion and salt and pepper to taste. Toss in the mint. Serve at room temperature.
