Tired of overpaying for take out each day for lunch? This is a super quick and easy pasta salad to leave you feeling satisfied both in your wallet and from hunger! Make it on a Sunday evening and you are set for lunch the entire week.
1 ½ cup orzo(cooked according to package)
Handful of grape tomatoes
2-3 small cucumbers peeled and diced, or one large
1 can chick peas, rinsed
½ small onion diced
1 container tomato/basil feta (Publix has their own)
Handful of torn fresh basil(optional)
Garlic Expressions dressing
Ken’s Greek salad dressing
Cook/drain orzo and allow to cool. (don’t rinse it!!)
In bowl combine first 6 ingredients.
Add a few Tbs of both dressings. Toss to coat.
Tips:
· - I like to let the salad sit overnight and then
add more dressing if necessary. (remember you can always add more, but you
can’t take away!)
· - I keep the tomatoes whole and slice them the day
I eat. Otherwise the wetness of the tomatoes make the salad icky.
· - If you measure a cup serving each day, this
makes enough for 5 lunches. Toss in a side of fresh fruit and you’ve got lunch
for the week. You’re welcome.
· - It’s summer! Get your produce at a local farmers
market or produce stand.
- - Switch up your protein. Serve with grilled chick, salmon, steak, the possibilities are endless!
