This great summer dish is not really a recipe, since all of the ingredients are added according to taste and sight. In other words, if it looks like a nice, balanced combination of all of the ingredients and it tastes great, it’s ready! Serve this with a good whole grain peasant bread, a side salad of mesclun greens in vinaigrette, and wine, and you’ve got a perfect summer lunch.
8 ounces orzo, preferably whole grain
Extra virgin olive oil, to lightly coat the orzo, about 1/8 cup
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
Sliced Kalamata olives, about 1 cup
Feta cheese, about ¾ cup,
Fresh dill, minced, about 3 Tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
