Orzo, Pine Nut, and Feta Salad



We had this at our BBQ yesterday - it was my favorite dish. I'm not sure but I think it is the same recipe that was served at my bridal shower in Pittsburgh last spring too. We added extra lemon juice at the end.

Prepared by: David
Serves: 8

You will need:

1 pound orzo
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted ( in a shallow baking pan in a 350°F oven until golden, 5 to 10 minutes)
1 1/4 cups feta (6 ounces), crumbled
1 cup thinly sliced scallion greens

Preparation:
Cook orzo in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until tender, then drain well in a colander.
Whisk together lemon juice, oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl, then add hot orzo and toss. Cool orzo, then toss with pine nuts, feta, and scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper.
