Is it too hot for cooking indoors? Does meal prepping sound like a good idea, but your schedule says otherwise? Are you looking for a quick, healthy and versatile meal with the option to customize it?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you are going to love this Mediterranean orzo salad!
- This pasta dish makes several servings, and is great eaten at room temperature or right out of the refrigerator. Throw the leftovers into individual serving containers and have your desk-lunch ready to go!
- While it makes a fantastic side dish, simply add some rotisserie chicken, serve with fruit and a side of pita bread, and you’ll have a quick and delicious main dish.
- If you have a picky eater, leave out any or all of the veggies, and substitute cooked brown rice or any other bite-sized pasta or grain for orzo.
- What makes this dish so easy? Pasta is the only thing you have to cook, freeing up your time in the kitchen – making this a super summer meal!
