This orzo salad recipe is a fresh, delicious side dish or vegetarian lunch! If you make it ahead of time, save the herbs to add at the last minute. I also recommend tossing the salad with a drizzle of olive oil before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1½ cups dry orzo pasta
1 recipe Greek Salad Dressing
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon sea salt
2 Persian cucumbers (halved vertically, and sliced ¼-inch thick)
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup cooked chickpeas (drained, and rinsed)
4 ounces feta cheese (cut into ¼-inch cubes)
⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ cup pitted Kalamata olives
1 cup fresh basil and/or mint leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, or until slightly past al dente. Drain the orzo and toss it with a little olive oil, so that it doesn't stick together. Spread onto a baking sheet to cool.

  • In a large bowl, toss together the cooked orzo, cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, feta, red onion, and olives. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, add half the herbs, season with freshly ground black pepper, and toss to coat. Garnish with the remaining herbs and serve.

ONE-POT ORZO WITH TOMATOES, CORN AND ZUCCHINI



One-Pot Orzo With Tomatoes, Corn and Zucchini image

This recipe is inspired by the tail end of summer, when fresh produce and herbs abound but the heat waves are finally starting to relent. And while this dish makes a wonderful stage for the season's produce at its peak, it can also turn sad-looking February vegetables into a sauce that makes it feel like summer. The trick is to sauté the tomatoes slowly, until they've collapsed and become deeply sweet and fragrant. The orzo cooks right in the sauce, which cuts down on the dishes and allows the pasta to absorb the flavor as it cooks. If you prefer a larger pasta shape, stick to the traditional method of boiling pasta for best results, and save some pasta water to help loosen the sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 Vidalia or yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Black pepper, to taste
1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), halved lengthwise, seeded and 1/2-inch diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup torn fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/4 cups orzo
Kernels from one ear of corn (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup torn or medium-diced fresh mozzarella (about 5 ounces)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet, for which you have a lid, set over medium. And the onions, lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the zucchini and garlic, and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the tomatoes, basil, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have completely collapsed, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and tomato paste and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add 2 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the orzo, corn, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mix well, and turn the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan 3 or 4 times, until the pasta is cooked. The pasta should look "saucy" as it cooks; if at any point it looks dry, add another 1/4 cup water.
  • Off the heat, add the mozzarella and Parmesan and stir gently until just combined. Top with fresh basil and more red-pepper flakes if desired, and serve hot.
