Orzo and Spinach Salad

This is my go to dish. Everyone loves it!!

¾ lb of orzo

Dressing:
½ cup olive oil
3 tsp wine vinegar
3 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp oregano
¼ ground cumin

Spinach Salad
1 pkg. Baby spinach
½ c. Kalamata olives
1 sweet red pepper chopped
2 tsp capers
¼ cup minced scallions

Garnishments
6-4 oz feta
3 tsp toasted pine nuts

Cook the orzo according to package directions. If delay getting the dressing together, toss pasta with some olive oil.

Place the orzo in a large bowl and toss with 2/3 of dressing to start. Add spinach, olives, red pepper, scallions, capers and toss. Add rest of dressing. Can be refrigerated without adding the spinach. Cool for hours. At serving time, add spinach, feta and pine nuts.

While the water boils and the pasta is cooking you can get everything else ready, so it really only takes about 15 minutes. You could add grilled chicken to make it a main dish. I add everything right away and serve. I like it slightly warm. Keeps in fridge for days!
