Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium jar or bowl, combine the vinaigrette ingredients: 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds or seal and shake until emulsified. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 cup of orzo and cook according to package instructions, typically 7-9 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- Soak 1/2 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of spinach, cooled orzo, rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of crumbled feta. Drizzle vinaigrette over the mix and toss gently until well combined.
- Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld before serving. Optionally, add a splash of olive oil or balsamic vinegar just before serving.
