My Spinach Orzo Salad is a delicious blend of Mediterranean flavors inspired by spanakopita. Combining 🧀 feta, spinach, and 🌿 dill with orzo pasta creates a comforting and irresistible dish.
Cook the orzo in salted water until al dente.
Note: the water should be as salty as the sea as it's your only chance to flavor the orzo. Salt the water after it comes to a boil, stir, and add in the orzo.
In the meantime, warm the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and continue to cook until softened, about another 2 minutes.
Add the frozen chopped spinach to the pan and cook until fully thawed. The pan should be dry when you slide a wooden spoon through the mixture.
Drain the cooked orzo from the water and add it into the pan. Stir.
Crumble in the feta and dill. Stir until the feta has warmed through, serve, and enjoy!
