Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • Mix it up! Use any type of vegetables that you like, Try zucchini, green onions, and cucumbers.
  • Not a fan of Kalamata olives? No problem! Use green olives or omit them altogether.
  • I highly recommend buying and using block feta packaged in liquid.
  • Make this dish a day or two in advance. Store cooked orzo and chopped veggies in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Toss with dressing before serving.
  • Serve this chicken salad family-style or in individual servings for the beach or poolside.
  • Serve with pita or naan bread.
