Lemony Orzo Salad - Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club


By Aggie's Kitchen (Visit website)





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!


(this recipe calls for feta...I didn't have any on hand so I substituted grated Parmesan cheese...)


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!).
