It's a super fresh & delicious take on a Greek salad & is way more filling with the addition of risoni (orzo). The little risoni pieces soak up all of the zesty lemon dressing & really intensifies the flavour. You will definitely be making friends with this salad!

How to:
Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil and cook risoni as per packet instructions (10 mins for al dente). Drain & set aside to cool.
