Orzo is a rice shaped pasta which takes very less time to cook and its perfect on a hot summery day to eat it with fresh summer vegetables and drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar and you have perfect plate of salad. Possibilities are endless as what goes in to this salad. Add your favorite vegetables, cooked chicken or any other protein, fresh or dried herbs or even your favorite dressing home made or store brought. I add it what I had it at that time but still it was so filling and light salad.
Ingredients:
1 packet orzo ( 7 oz.)
3 shallots chopped
1 red capsicum chopped
1 red tomato chopped or you can use cheery tomatoes
half green capsicum chopped
1 cucumber chopped
1/4 cup cooked chickpeas
Few black olives
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup EVOO (Extra virgin olive oil)
as per taste balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
as per taste fresh or dried basil, parsley
Method:
Cook orzo as per package instruction. Mostly it will take only 7 minutes to cook.
Once cook drain it and spread it in big bowl so it come to room temperature.
Mean time cut all the vegetables and mix it in one bowl.
Once orzo is cool, add those vegetables and nuts and chick peas.
Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar , salt , pepper , herbs and mix it.
Check for the seasoning. You can add lime juice along with it too.
Serve it at room temperature along with fresh juice. I had it mine on hot day with cold mango lassi.
