Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 pound dried orzo pasta
  • 1 large red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1 cup pitted olives ((I used half kalamata and half green))
  • 3 ounces sun dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/3 cup chopped parsley
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Salt and pepper

Instruction

  • Set a large pot of salted water over high heat. Bring to a boil. Then cook the orzo as directed on the package. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, set out a large salad bowl. Chop the bell pepper, onions, sun dried tomatoes, and fresh herbs.
  • In a small bowl (or measuring pitcher) whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, and garlic together. Set aside.
  • Once the orzo is cooked and drained, place it in the salad bowl. Add in the bell peppers, olives, sun dried tomatoes, onion, and all chopped herbs.
  • Pour the lemon dressing over the salad and toss well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
