Why I Love This Recipe
- Quick – This Orzo Pasta Salad is ready to serve in just 20 minutes! Nothing beats 30-Minute Meals in the summer!
- Versatile – Since it has cooked chicken, I like to enjoy it as a light lunch or dinner with a side salad or slice of artisan bread, but it compliments practically any main dish so I often take it to BBQ’s and potlucks. I also love to omit the chicken and serve it with baked salmon or grilled shrimp.
- Fun Flavors: I’m obsessed with the unique flavor combinations in this Mediterranean orzo salad (the fresh tarragon is the star, so don’t skip it!). This is my favorite recipe for meal prep lunches.
