Cooked orzo pasta

Diced and seeded English cucumber

Diced red onion

Crumbled feta

Fresh lemon and lemon peel

Mint, parsley, a little oregano

Place all ingredients in a bowl, adding all the herbs, more feta, (make sure it's in small crumbles)pour your vinaigrette over all the ingredients, taste it and make sure you have enough of everything! Adjust it to your liking.

BOWTIE CAPRESE

INGREDIENTS

Cooked bowtie pasta

Grape tomatoes sliced in half

Fresh mozzarella cut in chunks ( I used a dry pack)

Fresh basil

Place everything in your bowl and coat with good olive oil, salt and pepper

The juices will come out of the tomatoes and flavor the oil and give a great taste to the salad.

These salads are great for any party, lunch with the girls (or guys), BBQ's, and picnic's.

Hope you give them a try!

Buon Appetito!!
