How To Make greek spinach orzo salad

  • 1
    Cook the orzo according to package instructions for al dente.
  • 2
    Drain and rinse pasta under cold water to cool and set aside.
  • 3
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the orzo, spinach, onion, olives, and feta.
  • 4
    Stir dressing into salad to coat well. Stir more than you think you need to as it will help to wilt the spinach a bit.
