– orzo cooked per package instructions – mozzarella pearls – cherry tomatoes – Fresh basil cut in chiffonade

Ingredients

If you didn't know, orzo is a pasta that looks like rice.  I've compared rice, cooked orzo and uncooked orzo for you.

Ingredients

–  olive oil – balsamic vinegar – salt – pepper – clove finely minced garlic

Balsamic Dressing Ingredients

Instructions

Cook orzo pasta according to directions. Drain, stir in olive oil so the orzo doesn’t stick together. As it’s cooling, you will have to stir it a few times.

In a separate mason jar, mix all balsamic dressing ingredients together.   Shake well prior to serving.

Mix tomato halves, mozzarella pearls and basil into orzo. Add some of the dressing, reserving the balance to add just prior to serving. Enjoy!
