I absolutely love Zoe's Kitchen Orzo Tabouli Salad but the last few times I have gotten it for take-out, there is more lettuce than orzo and they have gotten pretty skimpy on the feta.
This recipe is so fast and easy to make that I no longer spend $8.00 to pick it up when I can make it just as easily at home and have leftovers for lunch the next day.
Ingredients:
1 cup (dry) orzo pasta
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 cup diced Persian cucumbers (Trader Joes)
1/4 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup Greek Kalamata Olives (halved)
1 close of minced garlic
1/4 tsp thyme
Coarse Kosher Salt
Black Pepper to taste (I also use Lemon Pepper)
Lemon Vinagairette:
Juice of 2 lemons
Zest of 1 lemon
6 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
*Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let sit for 15 minutes.
*Bring pot of lightly salted water to boiling point and add orzo.
Zest of 1 lemon
6 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
*Bring pot of lightly salted water to boiling point and add orzo.
*Cook orzo for 9 minutes then drain and rinse with cold water to prohibit orzo from cooking further.
Add orzo to medium sized bowl with all ingredients and toss with lemon vinaigrette. Enjoy!!
Thank you for the recipe!
