Mediterranean Orzo

Sorry it has taken so long to add a post, this week has been super busy with the start of school and getting used to waking up early and going to bed early. Here is a great recipe for potluck dinners or as a side dish. Enjoy!

Mediterranean Orzo

1 cup dry orzo, wheat or regular cooked according to package directions
1/4 cup halved kalamata olives
1/4 cup feta cheese (can use reduced fat too)
One tomato cut into small cubes
One cucumber partially peeled (peel every other stripe on skin) cut into cubes
1/4 red onion diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
1/4 cup light caesar dressing
1 garlic clove chopped

Cook orzo according to package, place in refrigerator to cool for one hour, add all other ingredients including dressing, chill one more hour. Serve.

Leftover idea-
Use a few scoops of orzo and add a can of chunk white tuna for added protein, its a great on the go lunch.
