Orzo salad

This Mediterranean orzo salad is inspired by the food served at one of my favorite restaurants: Mama's Lebanese Bakery!

I have a slight obsession with orzo pasta lately...and goat cheese as always.

It only takes 9 minutes to cook to al dente perfection.

While the orzo is cooking you can prepare and chop your vegetables.  I just used some things that I had on hand.  I've also made a version where I used sundried tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes and mint instead of basil.

After rinsing the orzo with cold water and draining it I just added in all the ingredients, some red wine vinegar and a little olive oil and then seasoned with freshly ground pepper and some oregano.

And this is what I eat for lunch! Blah blah blah
