Serves: 12

Ingredients:

12 ounces orzo, prepared as directed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh parsley (ditto on the dried)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

6 ounces feta cheese


note: I never measure, but I did once for when I wrote the recipe down...but variations according to taste work just fine :)
