Orzo Salad

Here's my first recipe in my re-invented Blog.  Due to my few physical limitations ("malabsorption" and a gallbladder that isn't functioning), all of my recipes will be low-fat.

This is a go-to salad for me.  I make it twice a month.

Orzo Salad

1 tsp salt

8 oz uncooked orzo

1/4 C fresh lemon juice

3 TBS olive oil

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 C diced fennel

1/2 C chopped raddish

1/2 C chopped kalamata olives

1/2 C diced sundried tomatoes

Cook orzo with 1 tsp salt.  Drain well.  Don't rinse.  Combine lemon juice, olive oil, mustard & pepper.

Stir into orzo w/olives, sundried tomatoes, fennel & radishes.  Add salt & pepper to taste.  Top w/toasted pine nuts (I toast the pine nuts when I have a serving of this, in my toaster oven.  Don't put them on all at once).
