Step 1

Cook the Orzo: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes or as directed on the package. Drain and rinse under cold water until cooled.

Step 2

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth and blended.

Step 3

Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled orzo, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, red onion (if using), feta cheese, and basil.

Step 4

Add the Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Season and Serve: Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve right away, or chill in the fridge for up to 3 days. If it gets a little dry, just stir in a splash of olive oil before serving.
