6oz dry orzo pasta
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 Tablespoons capers, drained
For the Lemon Dressing:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1. Boil pasta according to package directions then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
2. For the Lemon Dressing: combine ingredients in a mason jar with a tight fitting lid then shake to combine. Alternatively, you can add lemon juice, salt, pepper, honey and garlic to a food processor then process while slowly drizzling in olive oil. Set aside.
3. Add slightly cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl with tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, parsley, and capers. Drizzle on enough dressing to coat then toss to combine. Chill for 10-15 minutes before serving then add additional dressing if desired.
