Roasted Chicken, Artichoke, Feta and Orzo Salad image

Colorful and easy salad to make in advance to serve chilled or room temperature. Using rotisserie chicken limits cooking to boiling pasta. Transports easily. Has a "Greek" flavor, but not traditional. Easily modified for size of group or individual tastes. Add other vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini) as desired. I'm always asked where I bought the salad, I'm assuming that's a compliment.

1/2-1 cup crumbled feta (try the pepper or tomato basil feta)

Steps:

  • Whisk dressing ingredients together.
