Instructions

  1. Cook the orzo according to package instructions. Let cook before using.
  2. In a pan heat the olive oil over medium high heat and add the corn kernels. Cook them for about 5 minutes or until they start slightly browning/charring.
  3. In a large bowl add the lettuce, orzo, corn, chopped bacon, tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, bell pepper, parsley and cheddar cheese. Toss everything together.
  4. In a small bowl whisk all the dressing ingredients together until it starts to emulsify, then pour over the salad and toss.

Notes

  • You can refrigerate this salad in an airtight container for up to a day. Unfortunately this salad doesn’t store super well so make it fresh! Believe me, you’ll thank me later.
