How To Make greek spinach orzo salad
-
Step 1Cook the orzo according to package instructions for al dente.
-
Step 2Drain and rinse pasta under cold water to cool and set aside.
-
Step 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the orzo, spinach, onion, olives, and feta.
-
Step 4Stir dressing into salad to coat well. Stir more than you think you need to as it will help to wilt the spinach a bit.
-
Step 5Serve at room temperature or chilled. This salad will keep for a couple of days in the refrigerator but it is best consumed within 24 hours.
