Your Turn To Create

Orzo Salad
  • Begin by cooking the orzo. Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo to the pot and stir periodically until the orzo is cooked to al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Strain water from the orzo and rinse the orzo with cold water. Set aside.
  • Next, prepare the dressing by adding all of the ingredients for the dressing to a mason jar. Cover the jar and shake vigorously until all the ingredients are combined. Set aside.
  • Assemble the salad by adding all of the ingredients for the salad (except for the Boursin Cheese) into a large salad bowl and fold together.
  • Drizzle the dressing over all of the ingredients and fold ingredients together again until everything is coated in the dressing.
  • Finally, crumble the Boursin Cheese over the top of the salad, toss, and enjoy!
