Instructions
- Cook orzo according to package directions. Once it's cooked, rinse it under cold water and let it drain thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, prepare your other salad ingredients and add them to a salad bowl.
- Whisk the dressing together in a small bowl and toss it with the other salad ingredients once your orzo is cool and drained. You may need to adjust the oil quantity based on personal preferences. Make sure you season the salad well with salt & pepper.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- I wouldn't make this salad ahead because the spinach will wilt. You could cook the orzo ahead and toss it with a little bit of olive oil to stop it from sticking, then assemble the salad when needed.
- Serves 4+ as a side.
