This vibrant tomato and feta orzo salad is a versatile vegetarian dish that celebrates fresh, Mediterranean-inspired flavours. By cooking the orzo in stock rather than water, the pasta absorbs a deep, savoury base that perfectly complements the zesty lemon and honey vinaigrette. The combination of juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy feta and aromatic basil creates a balanced dish that is as beautiful to look at as it is to eat.
Ideal for meal prep or a light summer lunch, this recipe is best served at room temperature to allow the herb and vinegar notes to shine. The addition of toasted pine nuts provides a satisfying crunch and a rich, nutty finish. Serve it as a standalone main or as a sophisticated side dish for grilled vegetables and crusty sourdough bread.
