To make Garten’s Greek orzo salad, which serves six, you’ll need:

  • 1 cup of orzo (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 cup of canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups of baby arugula
  • 4 ounces of Greek feta, ½-inch diced (not crumbled)
  • ½ cup of good olive oil
  • ½ cup of diced red bell pepper (¼-inch)
  • ½ cup of diced red onion (¼-inch)
  • ½ cup of kalamata olives, pitted and halved lengthwise
  • ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus extra for serving
  • 3 tablespoons of capers in brine, drained
  • 3 tablespoons of minced fresh dill

Garten’s Greek orzo salad, which appears in her cookbook “Go-To Dinners,” was inspired by Round Swamp Farm, a third-generation family farm in East Hampton.

“Their prepared food and baked goods are simply outstanding,” she writes. “This recipe was inspired by one of their salads; it has all the Greek ingredients that I love — orzo, olives, feta, lemon, and dill.”
