"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
Directions:
Cook orzo according to package directions. I cook it in chicken stock instead of water to add more flavor. When cooked, drain off and place in large serving bowl. Do not rinse with water!

Add the crumbled feta, chopped onion, chopped parsley, pine nuts and lemon zest to cooled orzo. Dress salad with good quality olive oil and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste to your liking. Toss all together, and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.

You can serve this cold or room temperature. This dish only gets better the LONGER it sits.

Personal Notes:
This recipe is basic, so you can adjust and add whatever other ingredients you like! I change it up all the time with fresh herbs and veggies I have on hand. For a light summer lunch, serve this with grilled shrimp on top. Gary particularly likes this as a side to his grilled burgers.
