Tzatziki kritharaki salad (Greek orzo pasta salad)

Kritharaki is a Greek specialty pasta very similar to orzo. This is a simple way to serve it in a tzatziki salad. :) Enjoy.

Last year: Mixed seeds and honey crunchy hearts.
Two years ago: Baked Brie en croute with apples and thyme (French).
Three years ago: Simplest veggie noodle soup (vegan), Caramelized onion and green garlic pizza, Fruit skewers with molten double chocolate and Creamy pasta with green onions, muhrooms and ham (very light).



Ingredients (serves 2):

• 200 g kritharaki (or orzo pasta)
• 100 g Greek yogurt
• half of a large cucumber (100-150 g)
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste

Boil the pasta according to package instructions and drain it. Put it in a large salad bowl and mix it with the olive oil. In another bowl, finely chop the cucumber and garlic.

Mix the yogurt and lemon juice into the cucumber-garlic mix. Pour it over the pasta and mix very well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
It's done, dig in! :)
