Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Orzo

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the orzo according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Toss the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill the vegetables until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, grilled vegetables, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped basil.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mixed herbs, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the orzo salad chilled or at room temperature.
