Greek Orzo Pasta Salad Preparation
Cook pasta according according to directions on box. This pasta salad is best with ORZO pasta but any pasta can be substituted.
Finely dice the red onion. Chifanade the basil. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Set all items aside.
Make vinaigrette: Add all ingredients and whisk together. Set aside.
After pasta is finished, drain and rinse with cold water. Once pasta is cooled with water, drain well and place on large baking sheet and spread out to evenly distribute. Place in refrigerator and let completly cool down (appx. 20 min.).
Place pasta, feta, red onion, basil and tomatoes in large mixing bowl and mix together until all items are well integrated. Pour vinegrette over and stir together. If you like, you can add more vinaigrette to make a "wetter" pasta salad. Can be eaten right away but it's always better the longer it has to let the flavors really blend. 1 hour in fridge is best.
ENJOY!
