Steps

5 minutes

1

Bring a large pot to boil with a few dashes of salt
2

When water is boiling add the orzo and stir
3

Chop the olives, cheese, and tomatoes into and place into a large bowl. It’s very important to make them all equal in size. Add a liberal pour of olive oil over the ingredients
4

Keep stirring and get ready to drain the water. I like to drain right after the pasta is al dente
5

Mix all the ingredients of the bowl The cheese will melt and get gooey but that’s a good thing. Add more oil if you desire it. I usually put mine in the refrigerator for an hour right after it’s done. This will keep in Tupperware for a week in the fridge
