Ingredients

---

• 1/4 cup orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 3 cups baby spinach leaves (no stems)
• 2 tablespoons chopped red onion

• In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups water with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the feta, olive oil, vinegar, a large pinch of salt, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
• Drain the orzo through a strainer (not a colander—some of the orzo may escape through the holes!) and add to the bowl.
• Gently stir to coat the orzo with the dressing.
• Add the spinach, onion and toss once more.
