Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon salt, plus a large pinch

1/4 cup orzo (rice-shaped pasta)

2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves (no stems)

2 tablespoons chopped red onion

1 heaping tablespoon roasted pistachios

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups water with 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the feta, olive oil, vinegar, a large pinch of salt, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.

Drain the orzo through a strainer (not a colander—some of the orzo may escape through the holes!) and add to the bowl.

Gently stir to coat the orzo with the dressing.

Add the spinach, onion, and pistachios, and toss once more.

This is so good for me I love the phrase Drain the orzo through a strainer, that is so true.
I like the balsamic vinegar also.
