Step 1
In a big bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, olives, tomatoes, red pepper, red onion, garlic, oregano, and feta cheese. Let this sit out at room temperature for about an hour so the flavors can really come together. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook it for 8 to 10 minutes until it’s just tender. Drain the pasta and then toss it with the tomato and feta mixture. Give everything a good stir to combine, and finish by sprinkling some chopped parsley on top before serving.
