LEMON ORZO SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS AND TOMATOES
Steps:
- Bring 2 large pots of water to boil. Add a big pinch of salt in each. To one pot, add asparagus and blanch, about 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of your asparagus. Place blanched asparagus in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and keep them green. To the second pot, add the orzo. Cook per package instructions. When tender, drain and place in a large bowl. Add blanched asparagus and tomato halves. Mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir into orzo and vegetables. Stir in parsley and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. This can be served warm, room temperature or cold.

[email protected]The asparagus in this salad was a bit too woody for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use a more tender vegetable, like broccoli or zucchini.

[email protected]I found that the orzo made the salad a bit too heavy. I think I would have preferred to use a lighter grain, like quinoa or farro.
