Time 28m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole-wheat orzo pasta
3 ears corn, shucked and kernels removed from cob (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of generously salted water to a rapid boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package directions, adding the corn in the last minute of cooking, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Pour the lime juice over the avocado and coat evenly (this will minimize discoloration). Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle over the orzo and add the avocado with lime juice, tomatoes, and parsley. Mix until combined and serve warm or at room temperature.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies. My kids love the orzo and the dressing, and they don't even notice the veggies.

I added some grilled chicken to this salad for extra protein. It was a great addition!

I'm not a fan of olives, so I omitted them from the recipe. The salad was still delicious without them.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover veggies. I had some zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers that were about to go bad, so I threw them all in this salad. It turned out delicious!
