Italian Orzo Salad

Clear sign I need to buy groceries: I start making up recipes.

Looking forward to eating this tomorrow though. :)

Italian Orzo Salad

¾ cup orzo pasta
½ large zucchini, diced
¼ yellow onion, diced
2 large mushrooms, sliced
1 cup garbanzo beans
1 tomato, diced
½ cup Newman’s balsamic vinaigrette


Boil orzo until al dente. Meanwhile, in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tbsp oil and cook zucchini, onion, and mushrooms for ~4-5 minutes. Drain pasta and return to pot. Add in vegetables, followed by the beans, tomato, and balsamic vinaigrette. Mix well; chill.

Best served cold.

Serves 3-4.
