Greek Salad with Shrimp & Orzo


Here's a good healthy recipe to help stretch out the Summer season. (At least the feel of it, if we can't control the temperature.)  Such an easy recipe and it's pretty! Very healthy, too. It's delightfully fresh tasting, and such a pick-me-up.

8 oz orzo
8 T green onion, chopped
24 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1 lb shrimp
16 black olives, sliced
4 oz feta cheese

Dressing:
4 tsp lemon juice
8 tsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/3 tsp oregano
6 tsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)

1. Cook orzo according to package directions, then rinse in ice cold water to chill it.
2. Saute shrimp in a bit of EVOO (this is how Rachel Ray abbreviates it, and I'm going with it.)
3. Make dressing
4. Chop veggies
5. Toss all together

4 Servings
