Cooking & Assembling
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add orzo, reduce heat, and cook for about 8 minutes until al dente. Drain and drizzle with olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until emulsified, then add maple syrup, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, mix diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, drained chickpeas, finely chopped red onion, crumbled feta, and chopped parsley.
- Once cooled, fold the orzo into the salad mixture without mashing the ingredients.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Serve immediately or chill for about 30 minutes before enjoying.
