 A rainbow of vegetables, vegan feta, and chickpeas are tied together
 with a zippy, garlicky vinaigrette in this easy orzo pasta salad
 recipe.

 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook
 according to the package instructions (about 8 minutes) until al
 dente.

 Drain the orzo, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process,
 and let it cool completely.

 In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine
 vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black
 pepper. Set aside.

 In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled orzo, cherry tomatoes,
 cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, artichoke hearts, vegan feta,
 chickpeas, and chopped basil.

 Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine. Taste and
 add more salt if needed, depending on the saltiness of the feta
 cheese used.

 Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the
 flavors to meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.
