This delightful salad combines the rich, herbaceous flavors of basil pesto with the satisfying texture of orzo pasta, creating a salad that’s as delicious as it is versatile.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add about ½ tablespoon salt. Cook orzo to al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Once orzo is cool, add it to a large bowl. Stir in half the pesto, until orzo is coated.
Gently fold in the feta cheese and cherry tomatoes.
Spoon on the remaining pesto, but don’t stir it in.
