Michael's Orzo Pasta Salad

This is a simple but very flavorful pasta salad—great for potlucks. Goes well with everything and could be turned into a main dish by adding grilled chicken.

INGREDIENTS
One 1 pound box of orzo pasta
Juice of at least 1 fresh lemon*
Salt and pepper
1 bunch of scallions chopped
Just over 1/2 cup olive oil
A handful of pine nuts, toasted (be careful when toasting them in a pan-they can burn very easily-they should only be golden brown)
6 to 8 ounces of crumbled feta
*The recipe is not exact, almost everything is to taste, so feel free to add more lemon juice, oil, salt, pepper, scallions, feta, pine nuts.

PREPARATION
1.Cook the orzo and let it cool completely before adding any of the other ingredients.

2. Mix together the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. When the pasta is cool, stir in the juice/oil mixture. Then add the chopped scallions, pine nuts and feta. Mix thoroughly.
