Ingredients

8 Ounces Orzo Pasta (Cooked)
1/2 Cup Olive Oil (divided)
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon Honey or Sugar
4-5 Basil Leaves
Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper
2 Cups Cherry Tomatoes (Halved or Quartered)
1/2 Cup Feta Cheese (Crumbled)

Instructions

Toss cooked orzo with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Chill.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice and sugar.
Chop the basil leaves and add in. Stir in a pinch (approximately 1/4 teaspoon) of sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Combine the orzo, dressing, tomatoes and feta.
Stir until the dressing coats the pasta.
Refrigerate until serving.

Notes

The salad will absorb the dressing as it sits. To make ahead, reserve half the dressing and toss with the salad right before serving.
