Orzo Spinach Salad With Honey Lemon Dressing

 

I really enjoy the combination of the Orzo pasta with the fresh vegetables in this salad. The Honey Lemon Dressing is a favorite of mine and helps to make this salad very special. I love having a great salad recipe like this as it will be a delicious side dish for just about any family style meal or if you want to add a little chicken it will make a great meal. It takes very little time to prepare this salad and can be prepared the day before. I recently carried this salad to a friends luncheon that she hosted, everyone just loved the salad and I hope you enjoy it as well.

How To Make Orzo Spinach Salad

 With Honey Lemon Dressing

I like to make the dressing first, then set it aside so the

 ingredients have a chance to fuse together.

Prepare the Orzo according to package directions, drain and set aside.

Cut the cherry tomatoes in halve then add to the Orzo.

Chop the red onion and add it to the

 Orzo and tomatoes.

Add the baby Spinach to the other ingredients.

Stir all the ingredients together and

 then add the dressing.
