Ingredients:

Serving

dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/3 cup good quality red wine vinegar
3/4 tsp. beau monde seasoning
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp salt
salad
1 package baby spinach leaves
11/2 cups orzo pasta , cooked as directed
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup kalamata olives, chopped
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Directions:

In small bowl, combine oil, mustard, vinegar and seasonings.
N a larger bowl, combine cooked and cooled orzo, tomatoes, olives, and cheese.
Season to taste with the dressing, adding only 1/2 of the dressing to begin with. I found that I only needed 1/2 of it and there was plenty of flavor from that amount. You can always add more later if you think it needs more. I didn’t want mine very oily, so the 1/2 portion was perfect for us.
Store in refrigerator.
When ready to serve, spoon salad onto a bed of fresh baby spinach leaves.
