Orzo & Artichoke Pasta Salad

From: allrecipes.com


Super refreshing summer salad! I made this for the first time at Julia's blessing luncheon and it's been a favorite ever since.

1 ½ cups uncooked orzo pasta
2 (6 ounce) cans marinated artichoke hearts
1 tomato, seeded & chopped
1 cucumber, seeded & chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 (2 ounce) can black olives, drained
¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon lemon pepper

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Drain artichoke hearts, reserving liquid.

In large bowl combine pasta, artichoke hearts, tomato, cucumber, onion, feta, olives, parsley, lemon juice, oregano and lemon pepper. Toss and chill for 1 hour in refrigerator.

Just before serving, drizzle reserved artichoke liquid over salad.
