Greek Orzo Pasta Salad

---

This is modeled after my favorite orzo pasta salad from whole foods. I like to cook a batch and snack on for days or have it for a side dish for dinner. I usually add about 2 tblsp of juice from the kalamata olives because i love the flavor, but you dont have to. Great for a bbq or party!!
