Orzo Salad with Broccoli

Lately I've been on an orzo pasta kick.
I made this broccoli salad using some.
It's got a sweet and sour thing going on.

Ingredients:
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups uncooked orzo pasta
4 cups broccoli florets, blanched and cooled
1 cup pineapple sweet chunks
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles

Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add orzo and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain well and transfer to a serving bowl.
Add broccoli, pineapple, tomatoes, green onions,
olives, pine nuts, olive oil, lemon juice,
salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
Top with feta cheese and serve.
