Quick and easy side dishes are everything when you are pressed for time. Â This easy orzo and feta salad is just that…so easy to make and tastes amazing. Â Just throw everything in a bowl and you have a great side dish for your family. Â What’s easier than that?
I am a sucker for an easy side dish. Â I finally went to Ponce City Market here in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Â One of the coolest parts of it is the food. Â There are so many options to choose from, you can just grab different things at each place and eat a smorgasbord of food. Â It’s so much fun to see what everyone chooses to eat.
This cold salad was inspired by a prepared salad that you can buy at the Ponce City Market. Â I had it there and it was so delicious, I knew I could make it at home. Â And even though it didn’t taste exactly the same, it was pretty darn close.
P.S…if you like cold salads as side dishes, try this healthy black bean and feta salad.
I love trying to copy restaurant recipes. Â I haven’t done it often (this hearty beef taco bake is my favorite copycat recipe). Â I also love getting inspired by restaurants too. Â There are so many recipes out there that can be made at home – you just need a little imagination and time to try them out. Â But it’s not hard when they are cold salads like this one. Â I’m obsessed with this recipe…it’s so easy to make and tastes so good!
Have you made restaurant copycat recipes before? Â I’d love to hear about what you have made in the past.
