Summer Orzo Salad
I love simple summer salads that can be eaten cold. There’s something refreshing about not having to cook on a hot summer night. This salad is nice because it’s subtly salty and crunchy.
Ingredients:
1 package orzo pasta (the bigger, the better)
1 can chunk white albacore tuna
1/2 red onion, sliced thinly
2 tbsp. capers
fresh dill
salt, pepper and olive oil to taste
Boil orzo according to package directions, drain in a colander and rinse with cool water. In another bowl, shred tuna and combine with a splash of olive oil, sliced red onion, capers, fresh snipped dill (you can use dried if you can’t find fresh), capers and salt and pepper. You’ll need to use less salt than you think since the capers are so salty. Toss with the pasta, chill, and eat!
