Warm orzo salad

This is such a yummy recipe loaded with nutrients and flavor. It is easy to make and can be eaten as a solo vegetarian dish or as a side dish. I like this as a night before race meal or after a lunchtime run for an easy and tasty lunch that can be eaten hot or cold.....

Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups uncooked orzo pasta or I prefer Arborio Rice
4 cups broccoli florets, steamed
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 c onion, chopped
1/2 cup pitted black olives, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 C white wine
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles

Method
Cook orzo or rice as directed. Add broccoli, tomatoes, green onions, olives, pine nuts, olive oil, wine, salt and pepper in the last few minutes and toss gently to combine. Top with feta cheese and serve.
