Cook the orzo according to package directions until al dente. Drain the orzo and let it cool slightly.

Prep the dressing by adding all of the ingredients into a large bowl and whisking together until well combined. Transfer the orzo to the bowl with the vinaigrette and toss to dress. Add the chopped cucumbers, feta, dill and chives to the pasta bowl and toss until combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Can be served cool, at room temperature or warm.

Refreshing and flavorful! Everyone that tried it really enjoyed it. We still have some leftover and I’m excited to try it after the flavors marinate together even more. Will definitely make again!

It was delicious and so easy to throw together! We did, however, use a little less dill than the recipe called for since I’m usually not the biggest fan.
