1. Cook the Orzo: Boil a pot of salted water and add the orzo pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

3. Prepare Vegetables: While the orzo is cooking, wash and chop your cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper.
4. Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked orzo with chopped vegetables, olives, feta cheese, and parsley.
6. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined.
7. Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad, adding more salt, pepper, or dressing as needed.
8. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
