DIRECTIONS
- First cook your orzo pasta per package directions, cooking until al dente, and drain.
- In a medium sized, nonreactive bowl, gradually beat together the lime zest, lemon juice, salad quality olive oil, basil, garlic, and mustard until an emulsion forms.
- Then season the oil mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix your pasta, feta cheese, peppers, tomatoes, capers, kalmata olives, and chopped red onion together in a bowl.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the pasta mixture and mix to combine.
- Add oregano and green onions, toss, and then add extra salt and pepper to your tastes.
- Chill salad for 1-2 hours for best results.
- You can make this in the morning and even serve it in the evening, but dont save it for too long (you wont have leftovers I promise LOL).
