          Salt
 1 1/2 c  Orzo
   1/2 c  Extra-virgin olive oil
     3 tb Red wine vinegar
   1/4 c  Red onion; fine chopped
     1 cl Garlic; grated or minced
     1 ts Dried oregano
          Black pepper
     1 pt Cherry or grape tomatoes;
          - halved
    15 oz Can chickpeas; rinsed
   1/2 c  Pitted Kalamata olives
     6 oz Feta; crumbled or diced
          - 1/2"
   1/2    English cucumber; diced
          - 1/2"
   1/3 c  Fresh parsley, dill, or mint
          - (or a combination); chopped

 Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook,
 stirring occasionally, until tender. Drain and transfer to a large
 serving bowl.

 While the orzo cooks, make the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine
 the olive oil, vinegar, red onion, garlic, oregano, 3/4 ts salt,
 and 1/2 ts pepper; whisk vigorously until smooth.

 Pour about half the dressing over the hot orzo, then add the
 tomatoes, chickpeas, and olives; toss well. Set aside to bring to
 room temperature, about 20 minutes. Add the feta, cucumbers, and
 herbs along with the remaining dressing. Toss, taste for seasoning
 and serve.
