Ingredients

1 cup orzo pasta
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 x (15 oz) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
4 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Method

1
Fill a medium pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
2
While the orzo is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3
Add the chickpeas to the skillet, season with oregano and red pepper flakes, and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
4
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives, and cook for another 2 minutes.
5
Add the baby spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing each batch to wilt before adding the next, about 3-4 minutes total.
6
Drain the cooked orzo and add it to the skillet with the chickpea mixture. Toss to combine.
7
Remove from heat and stir in the red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
8
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
9
Serve warm and enjoy!
