LAYERED SALAD IN A JAR
Steps:
- TO MAKE THE DRESSING: In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, honey, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the feta. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- TO MAKE THE SALAD: In a large pot, cook the orzo in salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and run cold water over the pasta to stop the cooking. Put the orzo in a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of the dressing. In a small bowl, stir together the green onions, tomatoes, olives, and cucumber. In a separate small bowl, stir together the 1/2 cup feta and the oregano.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the pine nuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden, about 5 minutes; set aside. (Keep checking; they burn easily.)
- TO ASSEMBLE THE LAYERS: Have 12 (1-pint) wide mouth canning jars with lids ready. Spoon 1/3 cup of the orzo into the bottom of each jar, and follow with 1 layer each of the following: 1/4 cup green onion-tomato-olive-cucumber mix, 2 teaspoons feta-oregano mix, and 1/2 cup packed greens. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the dressing on top of each salad and sprinkle each with about 1 teaspoon of the pine nuts. (You will have some dressing left over for another use.) Top with lids and refrigerate until needed. To serve, shake the jar to distribute the dressing.
- do it early
- The dressing and orzo can be prepared up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated. Assemble the salad in jars up to 6 hours before it is to be served. Keep it cold until serving time.
