Tofu Orzo Salad

I got this yummy and super simple recipe from my friend and colleague, Therese. It's actually really similar to the Roasted Shrimp and Orzo salad I posted earlier. Her original recipe called for chicken, which she marinated in Greek spices, which I'm sure would be delicious. However, over the summer we've been trying to cut down on meat (and expenses), so we subbed tofu for the chicken. Also, we marinated our tofu in balsamic vinegar.


Ingredients
-1.5 C orzo, cooked per package instructions
-2 small cucumbers, diced
-3-4 Roma tomatoes, diced
~1/2 C feta cheese
-1 package extra firm tofu, diced and marinated 
~2 T balsamic vinegar

Dresssing
-Juice from 2 lemons (about 1/3-1/2 C), and zest of one lemon
-2 garlic cloves, mined
~1/3 C fresh dill, chopped
~2 T EVOO
-salt and pepper, to your tasting

1. Basically just do the following: marinate your tofu, cook the orzo, chop the veggies, tofu, and dill, whisk up your dressing, combine everything, and enjoy!
