best recipe.

i realized that i've made this probably 10 times since i got this recipe from my mom in law and that i should post it here for you all to make. it's amazing, easy and amazingly easy.

orzo salad

1 box orzo
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
7 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped green onions (optional...i've never done it with onions)

dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
1 T. honey
2 T. lemon juice
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

cook orzo in chicken broth. drain and rinse. Toss all ingredients and serve immediately. If I am taking this out to dinner, I put pasta and basil in a large bowl and take the other ingredients in baggies. I add to bowl just before serving.


we sometimes just eat this for dinner. it's also good to pair with some sort of sandwich. and i think it would be a great thing to take to a shower or bbq. i have gotten many compliments on it the few places i've taken it. try it.

thank you to traci for sending me this, this morning.



she said it reminded her of me. yes. love it.
