I tested my luck with another Ina Garten recipe: Orzo with Roasted Vegetables. This was a nice side to our Rack of Lamb.
Oh yeah. This was a good one all right.
Slow roasted eggplant, peppers and onions turned into tender, caramelized morsels. I could have eaten this right off that pan.
The veggies were added to cooked orzo and tossed with a lemony dressing. Add scallions, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil and CHUNKS of feta (not crumbled) and you've got yourself a side salad. It was served at room temperature, but it was just as good chilled the following day.
YUM. Even the boy ate it. Ina scores again!

That looks fabulous! Again, I just love her recipes. I'm bookmarking this to have this summer alongside some grilled meats.
I never can decide if I like Ina or not. I really should just dive in and make some of her recipes. This orzo looks delicious!
I love that photo of the roast vegetables! I adore them full stop, but involving rice and feta cheese takes this right to the top of the to-make list ^__^. I think I'd like this cold best, I get cravings for cold rice sometimes...
I totally agree with you, this salad is a winner. I made it at least five times last summer when we had different people out to the lake and everyone raved!
Did you ever make her Chinese Chicken Salad, or the Pesto with Peas? Those are excellent too.
Definitely can't go wrong with an Ina Garten recipe - or with orzo & vegetable dishes! :0)
I love anything with roasted veggies!
This is one of my all-time FAVORITE Ina dishes! I could eat it by the bowlful in the summer. Gorgeous photos!
I just had some pasta with roasted vegetables...eggplant, squash, peppers, etc. It was delicious! And this looks even better!
Looking good! I love all of those roasted veggies. And great great pictures.
I have a soft spot for cooked veggies, specially th pepper and onions... plus feta... mmm... delicious! Thanks for sharing. I'm so gonna try it out.
oh yea, baby!! fabulous! i can't wait to do this. love ina. she's the bomb, isn't she. she is what you see on tv. a normal woman who is a talented chef and totally comfortable with herself.
beautiful pics, Lori!
I loooove this dish! I usually leave out the feta, though. Not a fan. Your photos look great! So crisp and vibrant.
Roasted vegies, orzo, feta and pine nuts...mmm... This sound really good!
oh my...the salad looks very good! i'm getting hungry again even though i just had dinner :)
so colorful! my mom always says that a colorful meal is a healthy meal.
LOL, how funny...great minds must think alike. I made this Monday night and put feta in mine and I broke up grilled salmon and added it also.
Looks heavenly. Yet another Ina winner! I gotta get her book out and bookmark some things to make! Looks great Lori!
What a handsome salad - all those pretty colours! And just the thing to use up the rest of my orzo, methinks!
Yummmmmmm! This looks absolutely amazing---and---AND! Mr.Picky Pants likes all the ingredients! Score! Thanks for sharing this one, RecipeGirl! :)
I saw Ina make this during the past winter and I'm just waiting for patio weather to make it. Your rendition has entrenched my conviction to do so!
i'm with you--i would've taken a fork to that pan of roasted veggies!
eh, forget the fork. my fingers are fully-functioning. :)
Oh, That looks gorgeous! Everything about it I love! Topped off with a lemony dressing. Wow, sooo good, you did Ina proud! I WILL be making this.
OH this looks divine -- for me, this would be dinner, no lamb necessary!
Lookin good! I bought a bag of orzo and had yet to find anything that was inspiring me. This has cured my lack of inspiration! Looks great...plus, you can't go wrong with Ina Garten.
That looks delicious! I always love Ina's recipes!
I love all the colors - it looks so delicious! And my kids just might go for it...
This looks fabulous I must try it sometime also.

Oh! Another winner. I have a great rice salad with lime and cilantro... I bet it would be even better with Orzo. You need to have your own cookbook!
I have given you an award. Check it out.

We just roasted veggies, very similar. I may have to try that rack of lamb, Recipe Girl! :)
That looks outstanding! I would be the oe picking off the caramelized pieces from the pan :)
Ive made this a few times! It is so yummy! I have made it for parties and even a wedding! It was a hit!
I Love Barefoot Contessa!
I make this salad all the time. It's the perfect spring and summer pasta salad. Yummm can't wait to make soon. I agree this recipe is a winner!
Looks absolutely delicious. I love all the colors and how hearty it is!

I just made this and it was great! I don't love feta, but I used fresh mozzarella instead, and I thought it turned out so good. Thanks for turning me on to this recipe!
