Greek Orzo Salad Dressing: This vinaigrette consists of red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and olive oil, which is seasoned with garlic powder, oregano, and salt.
Orzo Pasta: The base of this salad. Use wheat, or gluten-free orzo. If you can’t find orzo, ditalini or acini di pepe would be great.
Olives: Kalamata olives add a briny flavor. I also add some brine to the pasta for a salty, savory flavor.
Vegetables: Dice red onion, English cucumber, grape or cherry tomatoes, and orange bell pepper into small pieces. This vegetable combo adds a rainbow of color. Feel free to use yellow or red bell pepper instead.
