Easy and delicious. I used gluten free pasta instead of orzo.
A big hit for dinner tonight!
Made this last night and my guests loved it! They took leftovers home with them. Will definitely make it again.
Simple and delicious.
Took this recipe to a new level. It was a substitute for dinner as it was a super hot day and not too hungry. Added chopped red onion, fresh basil and mint, topped it off with chopped avocado and canned salmon. Dressed it with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Delicious!!
I Love this! Tasty, Quick and Easy. It is great just as written here, but sometimes I change it up a bit and add mushrooms or peas, or both.
Super easy and delicious! Followed the recipe as is and it was perfect!
My family and I loved this recipe. However, the tomatoes were not a big hit. I think I will try it with another veggie like broccoli next time. I also used less feta to save on the fat and it was still very flavorfull and super yummy!!
I have been making this dish for years as a side dish to grilled lamb….instead of the grape tomatoes I use a 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes…..not so dry that way…otherwise, I absolutely love this recipe.
I’d suggest to warm up the tomatoes before adding to the orzo mix. Otherwise, good side recipe for a quick dinner.
