Ingredients
1 pound dried orzo pasta
3 tomatoes
15 sundried tomatoes packed in oil
1 small red onion
40 basil leaves
7 ounces feta cheese
1 large lemon
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo for 10 minutes in boiling, salted water. While orzo is cooking, chop the red onion as fine as you can. Chop the tomatoes into slightly larger pieces and chop the feta cheese into similarly sized chunks. When the pasta has finished cooking, drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Dump the pasta from your colander into a large mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes, onions and feta. Don’t stir yet, although you will be tempted. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the bowl. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the bowl as well. Now, you may toss, gently.
