Orzo Salad Recipe
Confession time, I never tried orzo before. I wasn’t sure how to cook orzo. That was until a co-worker made an orzo salad recipe and wanted me to try it. I thought that orzo was rice, imagine my surprise to find it was actually a pasta.
Her orzo salad recipe was amazing. After trying her orzo salad, I decided to research orzo salad recipes, what I found is that this little rice like pasta is very versatile.
How To Cook Orzo
I have learned how to cook orzo. Making an orzo recipe is simple.
- Bring water to boil
- Add 8 ounces (1-1/2 cups) dried orzo to boiling water
- Boil the orzo about 10 minutes or until it has a firm, chewy texture, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
- Drain orzo in a colander.
Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing
I love making homemade salad dressings. For this orzo salad recipe, I went with a lemon vinaigrette dressing. I love how lemon dressing tastes with the cooked orzo and grilled vegetables.
Grilled Vegetables
I had grilled vegetables leftover from dinner. I thought the leftover grilled vegetables would be wonderful in an orzo salad.
Orzo Salad
This orzo salad has a nice Mediterranean taste to it. The combo of the lemon dressing with grilled vegetables with the orzo is just a wonderful. I could eat this entire bowl of this orzo salad recipe with the lemon vinaigrette dressing!
