__________↓↓↓↓↓↓ CLICK FOR RECIPE ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ ______________
This Tomato Orzo Pasta Salad is a simple yet delicious summer salad recipe with fresh tomatoes, orzo pasta and feta cheese tossed in a basil vinaigrette.
WHAT IS ORZO PASTA MADE OF?
Orzo is an italian word meaning “barley”, but orzo pasta is not made of barley. Orzo is generally made with semolina flour (wheat) and durum flour.
IS ORZO PASTA HEALTHIER THAN RICE?
Orzo pasta cannot really be compared to rice because they are two different things. Orzo pasta is traditional pasta. It is higher in protein than rice, but is also higher in carbs.
If you are looking for a healthy option, it’s best to look for a brown rice or orzo pasta made with wheat flour. This will give you the most health benefits.
HOW LONG DOES ORZO SALAD LAST?
This salad will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. The dressing will soak into the salad, but it really does taste delicious still the second day.
If you are serving leftovers you can toss it with a little extra dressing and it will spice it back up.

1/2 Cup Olive Oil (divided)
