Avocado and Feta Cheese Orzo Salad

You guys! This salad. I’ve had it 4 times over the last few days. I think I’m going to make a larger batch, store it in the fridge, and continue to eat it for the next several days…it’s SO GOOD!

Since I already know just what you are craving… just what you are looking for… I had to share it with you. It’s JUST the thing you need! 

This beautiful salad bowl is in fact a peek into my food-brain. This is exactly how I eat every day – lettuce, avocados, feta cheese and then a variety of everything else.

On this particular day I felt like adding orzo. Love me some orzo! But I love avocados the most! I can live on them. Um, I sorta do! If you notice, my recipe index is filled with recipes that include avocados.

Avocados are an excellent source of naturally good fats with over 75% of unsaturated fat in each avocado. With their delicious flavor and creamy texture, avocados might be nature’s best product, ever! They’re also nutrient-dense and cholesterol-free! SCORE!

Lucky for me, my kids also love avocados and I have been using them in soups, sandwiches, and in many, maaaaany salads.

In related news, it all boils down to this; my girls and the hubs also lurrrrved this Avocado and Feta Cheese Orzo Salad.  It really is so delicious and we (ahem…me the most) ate the whole thing in, like, seconds. My suggestion to you is to make a big bowl of it, grab a few forks, and just go at it, like we did!

Do you have an inspiring story about getting your loved ones to add fresh avocado to their diet?
