    Why You Will Like This Recipe

    This is by far one of my top favorite pasta salads on this website. You can't go wrong with these ingredients!

    Make this salad a complete meal and add some protein like Baked Shrimp Boil Packets, Easy Blackstone Chicken Breasts (Griddle Recipe) or ground lamb.

    On Saturday and Sunday mornings you can catch me watching cooking shows on Food Network. It’s fun to test and try out new recipes from different Food Network chefs. I’ll also share the recipe on this blog with you guys if I think it’s worthy! Like this recipe for Greek Orzo Salad from Bobby Flay. 

    What Ingredients do I need for Orzo Pasta Salad? 

    In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    • Orzo  -  Orzo pasta is pasta shaped like rice. Any small sized pasta shape will work if you can’t find it. 
    • Dijon Mustard - such as Grey Poupon 
    • Wine Vinegar - White or red wine vinegar, whatever you have on hand
    • Olive Oil - Look for olive oils that are labeled as extra virgin, cold-pressed, and unfiltered for the highest quality.
    • Vegetables - Green Onions, Grape tomatoes, English cucumbers  
    • Feta Cheese - I love the small chunks of feta cheese in this salad, I think it completes the salad.
    • Fresh Dill
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

      Have made this many times!! I find the vinaigrette too strong and temper it with a touch of sugar. Everyones palate is different.

      I have made this salad quite a few times. It is always a big hit. It is also versatile, sometimes I add other things like olives.

      Jenna,
      I like to use orzo in salads because everything seems to scoop together better, if that makes any sense. Bow ties and cork screws are all bouncing around not staying in the serving spoon, but orzo is very nicely-mannered.

      This salad looks terrific--a great addition to summer!
