Spinach, Feta, & Cucumber Orzo Salad

September 21, 2017 by Tonja Leave a Comment

When my days are hectic I love making a good salad that can last all week.  Orzo Salad goes great with grilled chicken, fish, or steak.  My family can dig into it at anytime—bring it for lunch or have a snack after school.  I also love this orzo salad because it’s tangy and fresh and you can put anything you like in it (leftover summer produce is where I’m going with this). Also great for a POTLUCK!

Make this and have a great staple for the week ahead.
