Recipe: Orzo Dill Salad

So I started a new job, and with it, a new attitude to saving money and putting an emphasis on making my own meals. So tonight, I have made a delicious orzo dill salad. It's lemony, and dilly and delicious. I don't know if it will make it until lunch tomorrow!

Orzo Dill Salad

Ingredients: Orzo, fresh dill, cucumber, garlic, red onion, feta cheese, lemon juice, olive oil,

Method:
1. Cook the orzo according to the packaging. Once cooked, run under cold water to help cool it down. Let it sit in the strainer while you are prepping your other ingredients.

2. Chop cucumber however you like into bit size pieces.  Transfer into a large bowl. Finely dice onion, and several cloves of garlic. (I LOVE garlic, I used 5-6 cloves of garlic!) Rough chop about a 1/4 cup of the fresh dill. Crumble feta into the bowl. Finally, add the cold orzo. Stir all together.

3. In a separate bowl combine 4 tblsp of olive oil, and the juice of one large lemon. Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic and finely dice about 1 tblsp of fresh dill. Whisk together and pour over the salad mix.

4. Using a spatula, mix the salad and the dressing together. Finish with a wee bit of salt and a good dash of pepper. Let sit for about 20 minutes before serving.

ENJOY!
