good-bye summer {salad}

I hosted the most fabulous party {if I do say so myself} the other night … hope to get a chance to tell you about it in the next few days, but first … I wanted to share a yummy recipe with you.  Actually, I’ve got a few recipes to share … but thought this one is the perfect “good-bye to summer salad” … enjoy!

tri-colore orzo salad

Tri-Colore Orzo

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound orzo pasta
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
  • 2 cups fresh arugula
  • 3/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries {I used the tart variety}
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts {I used way more than this … I love a pine nut!}
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice {I used fresh squeezed}
  • 1  1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper {I forgot to put this in, but tasted pretty good regardless}

Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.  Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.  Drain pasta and put the pasta on a large cookie sheet.  Drizzle the pasta with 3 tablespoons olive oil, toss, spread out, and set aside to cool.

Once the orzo is cool, transfer to a large serving bowl.  Add the remaining ingredients and toss gently to combine.  Serve.

Yum-yum-yummy!!

And … as a side note … if you’ve never ‘toasted’ pine nuts before … the little suckers toast up pretty darn quick!  And just sayin’ here … but I’d advise against putting them in a 570 degree oven and walking away for … oh say … 10-15 minutes.

    What a stuff of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable knowledge concerning unpredicted feelings.
