Tender orzo and protein-rich tuna tossed with crisp cucumbers and zesty lemon dressing for a bright, refreshing meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Canned tuna in water
0.25 cup Dry orzo pasta
0.25 cup Canned chickpeas
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup English cucumber
2 tbsp Red onion
0.5 oz Feta cheese
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orzo according to package directions until al dente.
Drain the orzo and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely mince the red onion.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the drained tuna, chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion to the bowl with the orzo.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley just before serving.
