Someone asked about my recipe for Spinach orzo salad so here it is -
Buy a bag of baby spinach. Chop into small pieces. Cook orzo, drain (I use about a third of a box). Add cherry tomatoes or chopped red pepper. Toss with lite balsamic dressing.
Instead of this dressing sometimes I will make my own - 2 T of oil, 1 T of teriyaki sauce, a sprinkle of garlic powder, 1 tsp of vinegar. This gives a nice flavor if you do not feel like overpowering the salad with dressing. Add a little more oil or teriyaki if needed since the pasta will soak it up a bit. Mix and taste first until you get the flavor you prefer. Sorry I can't be more specific. This is how I cook - by taste, not with a list of amounts LOL so you're sort of on your own with this. It's a great salad for summer though. Happy Memorial Day!
