Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil for the orzo pasta. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes; drain the orzo thoroughly.
Drain the artichoke hearts, making sure to reserve the flavorful liquid for later use in the salad.
Gather all your prepped ingredients together for easy assembly of the orzo salad.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo pasta, artichoke hearts, crisp cucumber, juicy tomato, red onion, creamy feta, Kalamata olives, fresh parsley, zesty lemon juice, dried oregano, and lemon pepper. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, drizzle the reserved artichoke marinade over the Greek orzo salad for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy this refreshing and flavorful Greek Orzo Salad!
