About Orzo pasta salad

Orzo pasta salad is a versatile and flavorful dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine. It features cooked orzo, a rice-shaped pasta, tossed with a variety of fresh ingredients like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onions, and crumbled feta cheese. Often garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or basil, it’s typically dressed with a light vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. This salad provides a balance of textures and bright flavors, making it a popular choice for picnics, potlucks, or light meals. Nutritionally, orzo pasta salad can be a good source of fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins, depending on the ingredients. However, its calorie content may rise with the use of cheese and oil, so portion control is key. Opting for whole-grain orzo can boost its fiber content and make the dish an even healthier option.
