Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup orzo
1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
1 large tomato, diced (1 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 seedless cucumber, halved lengthwise, cored, and diced (1 cup)
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, slivered
1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano
2 to 3 cups coarsely chopped romaine
1/2 pound feta, crumbled (1 cup)
4 to 8 peperoncini
Equipment: 4 (16-ounce) wide jars or containers with lids

  • Cook orzo according to package instructions. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain well.
  • Toss black-eyed peas, tomato, and parsley with vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Marinate, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.

I didn't care for the combination of flavors in this salad. I think I'll stick to my regular Greek salad recipe.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I added some extra lemon juice and feta cheese to taste.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this salad. The orzo is chewy, the black-eyed peas are creamy, and the vegetables are crisp.
