Steps:

• For the oregano vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, honey, dried oregano and some salt and pepper to combine.
• For the salad: Set aside 2 tablespoons each of the feta and pistachios for serving, then add the remaining feta and pistachios to a large bowl.

BABY SPINACH, FRESH PEA AND FETA CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• You need 2 large handfuls of baby spinach -- check for nasty stalky or wilted bits and then give it a really good wash (nobody likes gritty spinach). Spin dry, and add to a salad bowl with 2 smaller handfuls of fresh peas (unless you are lucky enough to get young peas which are sweet and tender, you should blanch the peas in boiling, unsalted water and leave to cool). Dress the salad at the last minute with olive oil and lemon juice dressing and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.

BABY SPINACH AND CHICK PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Combine chopped spinach, chickpeas and chopped onions in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 3 tablespoons (3 turns of the bowl in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil. Toss well to coat and combine. Season salad with salt and pepper, to your taste.

SPINACH SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Combine spinach, cranberries, green onion, sliced apple, grapes and walnuts in a large salad bowl.
• Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Pour the vinaigrette over salad, sprinkle with Feta cheese and arrange on chilled salad plates.

ONE-PAN ORZO WITH SPINACH AND FETA

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium, then melt butter, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in about three-quarters of the scallions (saving some of the green parts for garnish) and garlic, and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in spinach, adding in batches if it doesn't all fit in the pan at once, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in orzo, lemon zest and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until orzo is nearly cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 14 minutes, stirring once or twice.
• Stir in cheese, peas (if you like) and dill, cover the pan, and cook for another 1 minute, to finish cooking and warm the peas. To serve, sprinkle with more cheese and the reserved scallions.
