Description
Come and try this out and experience the amazing flavors of the Best Greek Ozo Salad today and treat your family to a taste deliciousness.
Ingredients
- 500g packet of uncooked Orzo Pasta
- 400g (1 tub) feta cheese – crumble (I prefer it chunky)
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced, again chunky
- 1 packet/bottle of sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 red onion chopped
- ±140 g fresh spinach
- 1 cup pitted black kalamata olives drained
- 75 ml vinegar
- 75 ml oil
- Coarse salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add pasta and stir gently.
- Return to the boil for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente.
- Remove from heat and add 1 cup of cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well.
- Coarsely chop the onion, olives, yellow pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- I prefer to shred the fresh spinach by hand, and again if using baby spinach, just tear it into 2 or maybe 3 pieces.
- Combine pasta with chopped vegetables, spinach, and crumbled feta.
- Add the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Toss and chill for a minimum of 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for a few days.
I love the leftovers, if you have any, as the flavor intensifies overnight. I have made this many a time and everybody just loves it and always asking for more.
