This Chickpea and Orzo Salad is a bright, crunchy mix of fresh veggies like diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion combined with tender orzo pasta and hearty chickpeas—all tossed in a tangy, homemade dressing. One of the best parts? It only takes about 20 minutes to prepare. The process is quick, simple, and fuss-free. Once the dressing is whisked together and everything is combined, you just pop it in the fridge to chill. No lengthy prep or cooking required, and since it uses pantry staples, there’s no need for last-minute grocery runs.
This salad is refreshingly colorful and perfect for spring or summer, featuring a lively citrusy lemon punch—similar to my Homemade Lemon Orzo Chicken Soup—but it’s versatile enough to enjoy all year round.
Not only is this salad delicious, but it’s also incredibly adaptable. It works wonderfully as a quick lunch, a light dinner, or a flavorful side dish for your next get-together.
It pairs beautifully with dishes like Margarita Grilled Chicken and is a crowd-pleaser at potlucks.
