Orzo Greek Salad

I love orzo and I love panzanella salads...this recipe is a kind of combination of the two. Perfect for a light lunch!

Orzo Greek Salad

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked orzo
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
20 pitted kalamata olives, cut into quarters
1/4 to 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large lemon, halved
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
In a  large mixing bowl, add orzo, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, olives, and parsley. Stir to combine.
Pour olive oil into orzo mixture. Juice the entire lemon into the same bowl. Add salt and grind pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine. Serve cold or at room temperature.
