Recipes That Made the Cut

These are recipes that we have tried and think they are worth the effort required. I will post where I found the recipe whenever possible.

Orzo Artichoke, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Feta, Olives and Basi lSalad

This is one of my old standards - I made it this week for both some friends that came over and brought a tub of it to work. It was a hit!

Ingredients to taste

Orzo (pasta that is shaped like a large piece of rice)
Basil
Sun dried tomatoes
Artichoke hearts
Olives
Feta cheese
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Red onions (optional)
Red peppers (optional)

Make the pasta to taste. After you drain and rinse it, immediately lubricate with olive oil.

Rinse all the jarred artichoke, tomatoes, olives etc thoroughly. Chop them up in large chunks (to taste). Pour them over the orzo and mix together.

Add feta, salt and pepper to taste. Add olive oil as needed.

Slice the basil in thin strips and incorporate into salad. It can be kept in the refrigerator and served cold or room temperature. I even saw someone eat some with crackers once!

Enjoy!
