Categories     Salad     Vegetable     Dinner     Lunch

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 oz. orzo
1 bunch fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbs. fresh parsley, minced
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano*

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.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or fish. I like to add a grilled chicken breast or salmon fillet to the salad for a protein boost. It's also a great way to add some extra flavor to the salad.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this salad. The lemon dressing is so flavorful that it really masks the taste of the asparagus. I would definitely make this salad again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have extra asparagus and tomatoes in the summer, and this is a great way to use them up. The lemon dressing is also very refreshing.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

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.

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.

This salad was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter dressing.
