Greek Orzo Salad


1 cup uncooked Orzo
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove, grated
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of Cayenne
Salt, Pepper
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
15-20 Kalamata Olives, halved
1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbles

Cook Orzo according to directions on a package.

In a large bowl, start by making the dressing.  Combine lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne.  Add olive oil slowly, stirring with a whisk, until all incorporated together.

Add all the vegetables, Feta, and cooked Orzo.  Mix together and serve.  Season with salt and fresh black pepper, if needed.

Serves 6-8

*Perfect as a side dish. 
*Make sure to taste the orzo before adding extra salt.  Kalamata olives and Feta cheese are naturaly salty.
