Growing up, I had a really close group of girlfriends. One friend's mom, Mrs. Waite, made this delicious orzo salad (pictured in the previous post) for bbqs and lobster bakes. It was always a huge hit. We pestered her so often for the recipe that she was inspired to make us all cookbooks. When we graduated from high school, we each received a copy of the Waite Family Cookbook, which includes the recipe for orzo salad. It's so simple and so delicious. Thanks, Mrs. Waite!
Cook 1 lb of orzo. Allow it to cool.
Toast 1/2 cup of pine nuts at 250 degrees for 4 or 5 mins. Be careful not to burn them!
Combine these two ingredients, along with:
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tbs lemon juice (I just used the juice from one lemon)
1 cup scallions, sliced
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 pint cherry tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
And there you have it! Perfect for a summer picnic.
