Summer Orzo Salad
 
Ingredients
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1-16 ounce box orzo (approx 2.5 to 3 cups)

  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Pour the broth and water into a large saucepan, cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Stir in the orzo.
  3. Cook until the orzo is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.
  4. Drain the orzo through a strainer.
  5. Transfer the orzo to a large wide bowl and toss until the orzo cools slightly.
  6. Set aside to cool completely.
  7. Toss the orzo with the beans, tomatoes, onion, basil, mint, and enough vinaigrette to coat.
  8. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature.
