On Sunday night this past weekend i decided to utilize my newly planted herb garden (blog post soon to come) and make a fresh, summery salad to accompany our pork chop dinner. I had seen orzo salads before (my favorite being from WholeFoods) but had never made one myself. I took my favorite things from each salad i had tasted and combined them to make this super yummy, light side dish.
ENJOY!
1 lb of orzo pasta (cooked according to the box instructions)
1 package of grape tomatoes cut in half
1 package of low-fat sun dried tomato and basil feta cheese
1/2 cup Zesty Italian Salad dressing (perhaps more depending on your taste)
3 TBS chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
salt/pepper to taste
Toss all ingredients together and you have yourself one super yummy side dish or lunch!
...and as a bonus, it will keep for up to a week in the fridge.
DEE and LISH!
You could write an entertaining book!!
