My relationship with orzo is relatively new. When it comes to pasta, I usually prefer varieties like penne, cavatappi, or linguine. However, with my son transitioning to solid foods, I’ve discovered orzo’s value as an excellent “training” food to prepare his single tooth for more complex chewing. It’s the perfect size and texture for little ones to explore.
The beauty of this Greek orzo salad lies in its entirely homemade taste. Fresh vegetables, creamy feta cheese, and a quick red wine vinaigrette combine to create a symphony of flavors. The salad retains its deliciousness whether chilled or kept at room temperature, and you can even make it a day in advance. This makes the Greek Orzo Salad a perfect choice for effortless entertaining, whether you’re hosting a small gathering or a large crowd, any time of the year.
