This salad is an incorporation of a variety of Mediterranean ingredients with a light lemon sauce to bind it all together. Feel free to substitute ingredients for a more customized salad. Due to many ingredients I've listed having a naturally salty flavor, I've refrained from the addition of salt.

½ cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 ½ teaspoons lemon-infused olive oil

¼ cup canned chickpeas
¼ cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
