Flavors of Greece


I have this go-to summer salad that combines the flavors found in the classic Horiatiki Salata (Greek village salad) with orzo (rice-shaped pasta). There is something about these flavors and textures that bring summertime home to rest.

The combination of fresh, ripe, vibrant red tomatoes, yellow, orange and red sweet peppers, crispy cucumbers, kalamata olives, feta cheese, sweet red onion, fresh dill and orzo pasta create a mardi gras in your mouth. Dress the salad with either an olive oil, fresh lemon juice dressing or a red-wine vinaigrette. This salad has personality to spare!
