Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
3/4 pound orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
1 cup minced scallions, white and green parts
1 cup chopped fresh dill
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup medium-diced hothouse cucumber, unpeeled and seeded
1/2 cup small-diced red onion
3/4 pound good feta cheese, large-diced

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and a splash of oil, and bring the water to a boil. Add the orzo and simmer for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked al dente. Drain and pour into a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour over the hot pasta and stir well.
  • Add the scallions, dill, parsley, cucumber, onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Add the feta and stir carefully. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend, or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerated, taste again for seasonings and bring back to room temperature before serving.
