Orzo and Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese

Drescription

A Mediterranean-inspired salad with tender orzo pasta, juicy tomatoes, feta, and herbs in a zesty vinaigrette. Light, tangy, and refreshing.

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked orzo pasta 1/4 cup pitted green olives 1 cup diced feta cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 1 ripe tomato, chopped
1/4 cup virgin olive oil 1/8 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain, and rinse with cold water.
When orzo is cool, transfer to a medium bowl and mix in olives, feta cheese, parsley, dill, and tomato. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and lemon juice. Pour over pasta, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill before serving.

Cheesy Fish Burgers The Walleye Lucy

Having an understanding of what goes into the original Jucy Lucy and what makes it so special—that the cheese goes inside the meat—is the key to moving forward and progressing the sandwich in new and unique ways. My personal Juicy Lucy turns to fish as its primary protein. In this case, walleye, the official Minnesota state fish and quite possibly the truest of all Minnesota food items (though catfish makes a good, perhaps more accessible, substitute).
