Cook the orzo pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo pasta, diced cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the orzo pasta and vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately or chill for later.
For enhanced flavor, allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
I enjoyed this salad. The feta cheese was a nice touch. I'd probably add a little more olive oil to the dressing next time.

A very good pasta salad. I thought the orzo was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were crisp. Next time, I might add some grilled chicken for extra protein.
