Looking for a great salad to make for summer cookouts? This Orzo Salad with Feta, Olives and Peppers has been on my cookout menu since I first made it back in 2007.

Not only is this orzo salad attractive to look at, but it’s also tasty as well. Red and yellow bell peppers along with capers and Kalamata olives add a pop of color to the salad. The dressing has a great flavor!

I like to serve it in my grandmother’s glass bowl to show off the color that the peppers, olives, and capers give this salad.

The recipe comes from the Applewood Inn in Guerneville, CA, and was shared in the October 2007 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. It really is delicious!


I hope that you enjoy this salad as much as my family does!
