1
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.
3
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.
4
In a large bowl, combine the cooled orzo, halved cherry tomatoes, feta cheese crumbles, chopped kalamata olives, rinsed chickpeas, and sliced green onions.
5
Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta salad mixture. Toss well to evenly coat all the ingredients.
6
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
7
Let the salad rest for about 15 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
