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.

    I’ve been surfing online more than three hours lately, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
