Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook according to the package instructions, typically 7-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
- While the orzo is cooling, wash and prepare your vegetables. Dice the cherry tomatoes, chop the cucumber, slice the red onion, and finely chop the bell peppers. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Once the orzo has cooled completely, add it to the bowl with the vegetables. Crumble feta cheese over the mixture and gently toss everything together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey until combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the orzo and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until well coated.
- Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve in individual bowls or on a large platter. Enjoy as a side at BBQs or as a light lunch.

Notes
Use the freshest vegetables for the best results. Reserve some dressing to prevent sogginess. Consider chilling the salad for enhanced flavors.
