Another delicious find from food gawker. I'm pretty much obsessed with this website. I made a Lemon Orzo Salad with Tomatoes. Pretty much my roommate only used the tomatoes, and I realized I still don't like tomatoes!
I made some modifications from the recipe I found. First, I used feta cheese instead of parmesan. Secondly, I didn't add asparagus. And lastly, the dressing for the salad was not enough for me. After I mixed it together and gave it a taste, I couldn't really taste it - so I ended up doubling it. Perfect! The recipe listed below shows my doubled version of the dressing items.
Lemon Orzo Salad with Tomatoes
recipe from A Big Mouthful
12 oz. orzo
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
2 lemons, zested and juiced
6 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced
4 Tbs. fresh parsley, minced
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
Feta Cheese
Cook the orzo as directed to al dente. Drain and place in a large bowl.
Add tomato halves to the orzo.
Mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir into orzo and vegetables. Stir in parsley and feta cheese.
This can be served warm, room temperature or cold.
