From what I can tell, only a few of us really enjoy eating raw zucchini. But even A., who definitely isn’t in that minority, admitted that this salad—a complete meal—is delicious.

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Cook the orzo in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions.
2

While the orzo is cooking, cut the zucchini into very small cubes and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to release their moisture.
3

Slice the onion very thinly and place it in a large salad bowl. Add the corn (after rinsing) and crumble the feta cheese in by hand.
4

Drain the orzo and let it cool slightly. Add it to the salad bowl.
5

Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle generously with freshly ground black pepper, and add the lemon juice and freshly torn basil leaves. Gently toss before serving.
6

This salad is also delicious served cold the next day!

Μαγειρεύω σχεδόν καθημερινά από...τον προηγούμενο αιώνα. Για μένα και τους ανθρώπους που αγαπώ. Είναι ο δικός μου τρόπος να χαλαρώνω. Έχω ιδιαίτερη αδυναμία σε πιάτα που μπαίνουν στη μέση του τραπεζιού και μοιραζονται, που συνοδεύουν το κρασί, την μπύρα, το ούζο η το τσίπουρο.
