Orzo Salad


1 package of orzo pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp peper
3-4 large handfulls of fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 jar of sundried tomatoes in oil, chopped
4 slices of red onion, diced finely
1 container of feta cheese

1. Cook orzo according to package, rinse and drain well. Put in a large serving bowl.
2. Combine oil, vinegar, oregano, salt & pepper. Set aside.
3. Place chopped spinach, red onion and chopped tomatoes in bowl with orzo. Add oil mixture and stir well. Pour in some of the oil out of the sundried tomato jar just to add a little more flavor. Add all of feta to bowl and mix well again. If needed add more salt.
4. Chill and serve.

Side note: You can do a package and a half of orzo if you are going to a picnic and need to feed a lot of people. Keep all other ingredients the same except do probably whole jar of sundried tomatoes.
If you like Kalamata olives, the recipe calls for them and you would add them pitted and chopped.
*This recipe is from a magazine, I just altered it to make it my own.
