½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup freshly chopped basil
1 box (16 ounces) orzo pasta

Step 1
Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain; rinse with cold water and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk the seasoning mix together with the olive oil, vinegar, and sugar until emulsified. In a large bowl, combine the orzo, olives, red pepper, and feta cheese with just enough dressing to lightly coat the salad. Chill covered for at least 2 hours. Serve garnished with the chopped basil.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Steve0315 from WRONG instructions! The original, and correct recipe, calls for 1 (one) CUP uncooked orzo pasta. NOT, repeat, NOT, 1 (0ne) POUND!!! The result of the current recipe will result in dry, flavorless salad. Please correct this recipe!
