Orzo Salad

Now that grilling season is here, I always keep ingredients on hand for this simple salad. It's great paired with grilled chicken or pork.

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked orzo
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
6 ounces feta
1 ounce goat cheese
1/2 cup sliced olives
6-8 large leaves of fresh basil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
pinch dried taragon

Directions:
  • Cook orzo according to package directions; drain.
  • Combine pine nuts through onion with pasta and toss.
  • Combine dressing ingredients, mixing well, and pour over pasta tossing to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.
