Orzo with Garbanzo Beans, Goat Cheese, and Oregano

This Mediterranean-inspired orzo salad is a vibrant vegetarian dish that combines the brightness of fresh lemon and oregano with the creamy texture of soft goat’s cheese. Using orzo—a small, rice-shaped pasta—provides a lighter alternative to heavier pasta shapes, making it a wonderful choice for a quick lunch or a sophisticated side. The addition of protein-rich chickpeas ensures the meal is satisfying and balanced, while the garlic-infused dressing adds a subtle depth of flavour.

Perfect for easy weekday meal prep or as a sharing platter at a weekend gathering, this versatile recipe can be served warm or at room temperature. The tangy notes of the cheese pair beautifully with the herbaceous oregano, creating a refreshing flavour profile that feels both comforting and healthy. Serve it alongside grilled vegetables or enjoyed on its own for a simple, nutritious homemade meal.
