About Orzo salad

Orzo Salad is a vibrant dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, offering a flavorful and nutritious blend. This salad features orzo pasta, a rice-shaped wheat-based ingredient, mixed with fresh vegetables like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and bell peppers. It's often complemented by olives, feta cheese, and a tangy vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs such as parsley or oregano. Packed with fiber and vitamins from the veggies, healthy fats from olive oil, and protein from feta cheese, Orzo Salad is a balanced option for light meals or sides. While the orzo itself is a refined grain and contains fewer nutrients than whole grains, its versatility encourages the inclusion of seasonal, fresh ingredients. Perfect for picnics or meal preps, Orzo Salad combines wholesome elements with bold flavors, making it a delightful addition to health-conscious eating.
