Cooking Steps
- Cook the Orzo: Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil, season, and grill for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Allow it to rest before slicing.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and seasonings until smooth.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, sliced chicken, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and feta cheese. Pour dressing over and toss gently.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before serving. Add avocado just before serving if preparing ahead.

Notes
Rest the chicken before slicing for juiciness. Add fresh herbs like basil or mint for extra flavor. Adjust dressing seasoning to taste.
