Category: Pasta Salads
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 lb orzo pasta
1/4 cup good quality olive oil
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 small red onion, minced
Up to 2 large cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
Cooked shrimp or chicken
1 pint yellow cherry tomatoes or 2 yellow tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill or dried to taste
1 small English cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise, seeded, and thinly sliced salt and pepper to taste. (Go easy on the salt, as feta can be very salty.)
1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled (For a real treat, try French feta!)

Boil orzo until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Add oil, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, and garlic; stir well. Cut chicken (if using) into bite-sized pieces, or shell the shrimp. When pasta is cool, add remaining ingredients and stir gently. Serve with a crisp white such as Adagio Pinot Grigio. Serves 4
