Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound orzo
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices on the bias
1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices on the bias
1 Japanese eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices on the bias
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 large bell pepper, cut into planks
1 teaspoon lemon zest and 5 tablespoons lemon juice (from 3 to 4 lemons)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Add the dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup of the olive oil to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then add all the prepped vegetables. Toss the vegetables to coat them in the marinade.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is heated, add the vegetables in batches, being sure to keep them in a single layer and not to overcrowd the pan. Grill until the vegetables have nice char marks and are beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the vegetables and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet. Keep grilling until all the vegetables are cooked. Cool slightly, then cut the vegetables into small bite size pieces. Save any leftover marinade to build the dressing for the salad.
  • To the serving bowl with the leftover marinade from the vegetables, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Whisk to combine. Add the cooked orzo and the chopped grilled vegetables and toss to combine. Add the feta, parsley and dill and toss again. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately or keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your pasta salad the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the perfect cooking stage for pasta. The pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. If you add too much, the salad will become soggy and bland.
  • Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pasta to absorb the dressing.
  • Serve the salad with a variety of toppings: Some popular toppings for pasta salad include grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh herbs, and crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

Dilly veggie pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect dilly veggie pasta salad that everyone will love.
