ATLANTA ORZO SALAD
so we went to atlanta last month, and one night that we were there my aunt made this dish. Not only did I eat it that night, I also ate the leftovers cold for the next 2 days for breakfast! haha. I really liked this dish. It can be served warm but I prefer it cold. Also...fun fact...if this sits in the fridge for a few days...the vinegar in the dish essentially turns the cucumbers into pickles! ;p
1/2 lb. orzo
1 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c. tarragon, chopped
1/2 c. white balsamic vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb snow peas, trimmed and blanched
3 scallions, chopped
1 orange bell pepper, chopped
1 english cucumber, chopped
1 carton sliced mushrooms
1 c. crumbled feta cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
prepare orzo according to package directions. Rinse in cold water, drain well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, tarragon, vinegar, and garlic.
In a large bowl combine the orzo, snow peas, scallions, bell pepper, cucumber, and feta. Pour dressing over top and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
