This Orzo Salad is a great and refreshing summer recipe and it is one of my favorite salads for entertaining.
This recipe stems from an Orzo Salad by Giada De Laurentiis.
Ingredients
1 pound orzo pasta
3 lemons
Salt
1 ½ cup dried cranberries
1 cup fresh basil
1 ½ cup pine nuts
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 oz baby arugula
2/3 cups olive oil
2 cups feta cheese
Directions
- Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until tender, but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta and set aside to cool.
- Place the arugula, basil, pine nuts, and cranberries in a large salad bowl, mix well and then add the orzo.
- Mix together the lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the salad and mix well.
- Add the feta cheese and toss together, using 2 forks until well mixed. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Hi Erika, I wish the fans that write comments on you recipes, do so AFTER they have actually tried them. “Looks delicious”….” sounds delicious”…. “I will ke it soon”…. does not actually tell the story. I DID, however, put this dish together… and It WAS great!!!. So are a number of others I have ACTUALLY cooked and enjoyed; I will always look for more. So fans….. get cooking and tell us about it.

I recently had an orzo salad at an Au Bon Pain while visiting Nashville, TN. It was SO good I went back later that day to buy more. I couldn’t wait to get home and [try to] make MORE of it. If I hadn’t been in public I would’ve licked the bowl. Alas, their website menu does not include this dish. Yours, however, seems to include everything I remember. THANK YOU for posting this! I can’t wait to try it out.

I agree that posting and giving a recipe stars when you haven’t made it defeats the whole purpose. I’m going to look for recipes that people have actually made before I commit to cooking or commenting.
