My Spinach Orzo Salad is a delicious blend of Mediterranean flavors inspired by spanakopita. Combining π§ feta, spinach, and πΏ dill with orzo pasta creates a comforting and irresistible dish.
0 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.
1 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.
2 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.
3 Drain the cooked orzo from the water and add it into the pan. Stir.
4 Crumble in the feta and dill. Stir until the feta has warmed through, serve, and enjoy!
