Orzo pasta salad provides a creative twist on traditional pasta. Its small size gives a silky mouthfeel and works well with finely chopped ingredients. Recipe developer Michelle Bottalico has crafted a vegan orzo salad featuring fresh grape tomatoes, bell peppers, marinated mushrooms, and a Dijon vinaigrette for a refreshing spring dish. The addition of arugula, basil, and mint lends vibrant herbaceous notes. While the recipe is vegan, optional toppings like feta or grilled chicken can be added for those who prefer them.
Orzo puts a twist on regular pasta salad, especially if you're looking to switch things up from the standard big bites of pasta.
Making orzo pasta salad can be as simple as swapping another pasta shape with orzo and mixing it with your favorite add-ins and dressing.
The recipe is vegan as-written, but that doesn't mean you can't top off your orzo pasta salad with some fresh feta or grilled chicken.
Orzo comes together with fresh vegetables like grape tomatoes and bell peppers as well as more strongly flavored marinated mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and black olives.
