Lemon-Herb Orzo Pasta Salad
Tender chicken and orzo tossed with crisp cucumber and a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing summer salad.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz Chicken breast
0.33 cup Orzo pasta
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup Cucumber
2 tbsp Red onion
0.75 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
0.5 oz Feta cheese
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tbsp Fresh dill
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the orzo in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the cooked chicken breast, cooled orzo, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and finely diced red onion to the bowl.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh dill.
Toss all ingredients until they are thoroughly and evenly coated with the lemon-herb dressing.
Serve immediately at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
