Quick and easy to make Mediterranean orzo pasta salad recipe with artichokes, pointed red pepper, zucchini, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese.
Meanwhile in a small skillet heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, season with salt and pepper and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
NOTE: I cook the zucchini just ever so slightly, and remove it from the heat before it starts to really soften.
If time allows, set aside for 20 minutes and serve at room temperature. This will allow the flavors time to meld together.
