Creating this delicious Easy Orzo Salad is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook Orzo: In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes) until tender yet firm.
2. Drain and Rinse: Once cooked, drain the orzo in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow it to cool.
3. Prepare Vegetables: While the orzo cools, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and parsley.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled orzo, chopped vegetables, chickpeas, feta cheese, and parsley.
5. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
6. Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to combine evenly.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
8. Chill: For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
9. Serve: After chilling, give the salad another gentle toss and serve it on a platter or in individual dishes.
