- 1 english cucumber, diced (about 1 ½ cups)

- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender with a slight resistance at the center, about 8–9 minutes. Drain through a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and shake well to remove excess water.

While the orzo cooks, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined.
