A while back (may have even been on the old board) I posted that I had lost my favorite Greek Pasta Salad recipe. Lots of people offered their recipes, but none of them was exactly what I was looking for. Well, happy day, happy day - I found mine! Turns out it isn't from Cooking Light, but from Betty Crockers Great Main Dishes Without Meat.
Thanks to all who posted a recipe for me - & here is mine as I promised. The recipe says that it makes 5 servings - I think this is if you serve it as a main dish. I have brought this to many cookouts and there has always been enough for all.
Greek Pasta Salad
4 cups cooked orzo pasta
2 cups thinly sliced cucumber
3/4 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1 can (15-16 oz) garbanzo beans (chick peas) rinsed and drained
1 can (4 oz) sliced ripe olives or 1/3 cup sliced greek olives (from deli)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Mix all ingredients except cheese in a glass or plastic bowl. Cover & refrigerate at least 1 hr to blend flavors. Top with cheese. Makes 5 servings.
