Summery Chopped Orzo Salad image

I needed a recipe that would use a bunch of veggies harvested from my garden, so I came up with this refreshing orzo salad that is both colorful and crunchy. A very refreshing vegetarian salad for those hot summer days.

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces orzo pasta, cooked and rinsed with cold water
1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced small
1 medium zucchini, diced small
5 radishes, diced small
1 small red onion, diced small
1 large ear of corn, sliced off the cob (use canned if fresh not available)
1 roma tomato, diced small
1/2 red bell pepper, diced small
1 cup small tomato, quartered (depending on size)
1 lb mozzarella cheese, balls (Perlini)
fresh basil, chopped
fresh parsley, chopped
fresh chives, chopped
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Chop all veggies very small, and toss with cooked orzo.
  • Add cheese, and toss again.
  • Mix all dressing ingredients and shake hard in a container to emulsify.
  • Dress salad with as much dressing as you'd like. You won't necessarily use it all.
  • Chill and serve cold.
