Tossed in a Greek-style dressing, it combines all the flavours of the Mediterranean in a single bowl. It\u2019s the perfect make-ahead pasta salad for summer BBQs, picnics or an easy dinner!<\/p>\n<p>This Mediterranean pasta salad is reminiscent of a traditional Greek salad, with the exception that rather than cucumber, it\u2019s made with lighted saut\u00e9ed zucchini. Zucchini is the perfect pair with sweet summer tomatoes, red pepper, olives, capers, fresh herbs and feta. It\u2019s a fantastically flavourful salad that easily can be made ahead and tastes just as fabulous the next day. Plus it\u2019s relatively guilt-free since it\u2019s mayo-free and chock full of fresh, good-for-you ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81151 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-1-of-7.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Mediterranean Pasta Salad \" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-1-of-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-1-of-7-216x324.jpg 216w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-1-of-7-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-1-of-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-1-of-7-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-1-of-7-696x1044.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81155 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-2-of-7.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients in bowl\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-2-of-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-2-of-7-216x324.jpg 216w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-2-of-7-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-2-of-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-2-of-7-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-2-of-7-696x1044.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81157 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-3-of-7.jpg\" alt=\"Mixing salad\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-3-of-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-3-of-7-216x324.jpg 216w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-3-of-7-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-3-of-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-3-of-7-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-3-of-7-696x1044.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Mediterraner Orzo-Salat is the ideal BBQ side dish<\/h2>\n<p>This <strong>Mediterranean orzo salad<\/strong> is a great alternative to classic pasta salad. Whether as a main course or for grilling &#8211; this orzo salad recipe is super simple, fresh and flavourful. And like any good picnic pasta salad, it can easily be made ahead of time and holds up really well. Plus, since it\u2019s also mayo-free it makes it a great hot weather choice. And even if you are not planning a grill party, this is a perfect choice for meal-prep, easy take to work lunches. So add it to your repertoire \u2014 it\u2019s de-licious!<\/p>\n<h2>What is Orzo?<\/h2>\n<p>Orzo (also called risoni or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3E4iJUM\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">kritharaki<\/a>) is a type of pasta with a shape resembling a large grain of rice. It\u2019s typically made the same way as most pasta \u2014 with durum wheat semolina. But, nowadays you can find it made from whole wheat, and other types of grains, as well as gluten-free versions made from legume, such as chickpeas, lentils and peas.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81163 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-4-of-7.jpg\" alt=\"Mediterranean Pasta Salad\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-4-of-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-4-of-7-324x216.jpg 324w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-4-of-7-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-4-of-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Mediterran-Orzo-Nudelsalat-Rezept-4-of-7-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why I love this pasta salad recipe<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s made with easy to come by ingredients. The ingredients are easily obtained, easily adapted and this pasta salad is quick to make!<\/li>\n<li>It holds up well and can be made ahead of time.<\/li>\n<li>It is mayo-free and packed with seasonal summer vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>With lots of traditional Greek flavours it\u2019s bound to please a crowd!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to adapt this Mediterranean pasta salad<\/h2>\n<h3>Choose a pasta shape<\/h3>\n<p>I simply love using orzo (rice shaped pasta noodles, which is also called risoni or kritharaki in Greece), however you could also use your favourite type of small pasta. Farfalle, and twisty pasta shapes such as fusilli are great. Or for something a little different, try orecchiette, volanti or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QLighN\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">strozzapreti<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Add or trade out some of the vegetables<\/h3>\n<p>Cucumber can easily replace zucchini. Small, thin skinned cucumbers are best, and seeding them helps avoid watering down the salad. Red pepper can be replaced with yellow or orange peppers. If you want a little more green, then add a handful of young arugula leaves. Although kalamata olives are typical of a Greek salad, you can trade them out for your favourite olives, and if need be, skip the capers.<\/p>\n<h3>Add some crunch<\/h3>\n<p>Toasted pine nuts add a nutty flavour and extra crunch that pairs perfectly with other Mediterranean flavours.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81161 size-full\"
