Mediterranean Orzo Salad With Feta Vinaigrette Recipe


Mediterranean Orzo Salad With Feta Vinaigrette Recipe
This comes from "Cooking Light" and is so tasty! I always get requests to make it. You can serve as a main dish or as a side. Tastes good with homemade gyros.

This looks quite delicious. Would have to sub real tomatoes for the sundried as hubby is allergic, but that's no biggie. Even have some Orzo on hand! Thanks for the post.
