Add the oil slowly as you blend. I'm using a immersion blender but a food processor or blender will work. The final product will be a creamy dressing. Let stand at room temp while you make the salad.

Next we cook the Orzo. You can find this rice shaped pasta in the pasta section. Be careful not to overcook!

Drain and transfer the orzo to a large bowl. When the pasta is cool assemble the salad. Mix the vegetables, pasta, feta and a 1 cup of the dressing together. Add more or less to your liking.
