1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

preparation
- Cook orzo according to package instructions.
- Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. (Note: Use a tofu press, or wrap the tofu in paper towels and place in the sink with a heavy object on top. Press for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture).
- In a medium bowl, place all tofu feta ingredients and gently toss. Place into fridge and let marinate.
- In a large bowl, add cooked orzo, tomatoes, basil, Pompeian Bold Extra Virgin Olive Oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Toss to combine. Add marinated tofu and toss into salad.
