Greek Orzo Salad

 From Delish this was a quick and easy recipe to make. I actually halved it and we were at lake and I realized I had forgotten the chickpeas. Still was very good. Also I did not have fresh dill for top.

FOR THE DRESSING

  • 2 tbsp. 

    fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp. 

    Dijon mustard 

  • 1/4 c. 

    extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbsp. 

    freshly chopped dill, plus more for serving

  • 1/4 c. 

    minced red onion

    orzo

    Persian cucumbers, sliced into thin half-moons

    (15.5-oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 c. 

    pitted kalamata olives, halved

  • 1 c. 

    crumbled feta (about 1/4 lb.)

  1. Step 1In a pot of salted boiling water, cook orzo according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
