Discover the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean with our easy-to-make Grecian Charm Orzo Salad. Packed with fresh veggies, feta cheese, and tossed in a tangy lemon-yogurt dressing, this pasta salad is the perfect side dish for your next barbecue or picnic.
Add the orzo to a large pot of boiling salted water. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally.

Drain the orzo, rinse under cold water, and allow it to cool.

Prepare the dressing by combining the fresh lemon juice, nonfat Greek yogurt, honey, minced garlic, and extra virgin olive oil in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and emulsified to form a creamy texture.

In a large bowl, combine the cooled orzo, halved cherry tomatoes, feta cheese crumbles, chopped kalamata olives, rinsed chickpeas, and sliced green onions.

Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta salad mixture. Toss well to evenly coat all the ingredients.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Let the salad rest for about 15 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
