Lemony Orzo Salad - Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club
Our Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club chose to make something light for lunch for the month of September. If you are like me, a turkey sandwich just doesn't always cut it in the lunch department. It's nice to change things up a bit, for the sake of health as well as variety. Here's what is on the lunch menu this month... Lemony Hummus with Spicy Whole-Wheat Pita Chips - Val of More than Burnt Toast Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich - Helene of La Cuisine d'Helene Lemony Orzo Salad - Aggie Vegetarian Minestrone - Shelby of The Life and Loves of Grumpy's Honeybunch Chocolate Fudge Snack Cake - Jamie of Mom's Cooking Club Doesn't that all sound so good? Check out each member's blog for links to the recipes and their own photos! I really enjoyed the Lemony Orzo Salad. I am a huge fan of orzo, it's a rice shaped pasta and can be enjoyed in many types of dishes such as a pasta salad. I loved the simplicity of this dish...lots of chopped up vegetables paired with a whole grain (I used whole wheat orzo). You can easily add something like chickpeas or grilled chicken for protein to make it a balanced meal in itself. The lemon in the dressing brightened it all up! And since the recipe makes a nice size batch it will last you for a couple of lunches (or make a great dish for dinner!). For a printable copy of this recipe click here. related searches : Lemony
