I love using Orzo pasta (also known as Risoni) in a salad. It looks like rice and soaks up the dressing beautifully. This salad is often better the next day!

Ingredients

Method

Cook Orzo pasta in boiling water in saucepan on stovetop for 12 minutes. Drain well and let cool.
Add the rest of the ingredients to a large bowl then add cooled Orzo. Toss.
Add basil pesto (and some olive oil to help loosen), juice of the lemon, salt and pepper. Toss well.
Add to a serving bowl. Enjoy!
Note: Add whatever salad ingredients you have on hand. Get creative! Capsicum, Zucchini, other fresh herbs. Feel free to make it your own!
