Chilled orzo tossed with protein-rich tuna and crisp garden vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
7.5 oz Canned tuna in water
0.5 cup Dry orzo pasta
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.5 cup Cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp Red onion
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 salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain the orzo and rinse immediately under cold running water to stop the cooking and cool the pasta.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into the bowl with the lemon dressing using a fork.
Add the cooled orzo, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped dill to the bowl.
Toss all ingredients together until the orzo and vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing and serve chilled.
