Cranberry Orzo Salad
Recipe By : Adapted from Sylvia Lehrer and Charlie's Couscous Salad
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Contests Orzo
Overnights Pasta Salads
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method1 pound dry orzo
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1 bunch green onions -- thinly sliced
19 ounces garbanzo beans -- drained and rinsed
1 red pepper -- diced
1 yellow pepper -- diced
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
5 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 English cuke -- quartered
lengthwise, then sliced crosswise
1 teaspoon Kosher salt -- or to taste
fresh ground pepper -- to taste
1. Cook orzo according to package instructions, rinse with cold water, drain and place in large mixing bowl.
2. Add curry powder, green onions, garbanzo beans, cukes, diced red and yellow peppers, and cranberries to orzo. Toss to mix well.
3. Add rice vinegar and olive oil, mix well. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Note: Can be made up to 2 days ahead of serving time.
NOTES : This is a great salad for picnics or potlucks. It keeps well, and the flavors just keep getting better. The colors are beautiful together.
If you don't like cranberries, you could substitute currants or raisins, but don't skip the dried fruit. It adds a very nice sweet compliment to the rest of the ingredients. Sometimes, I add a little chopped fresh parsley just before serving. You could also use a little less olive oil if you are trying to watch your fat intake. Enjoy!

Not Dawn's NOTES : (Serves 8 generously)
I made the mix and match soup yesterday. I assumed that my biggest pot
would accommodate the recipe doubled, WRONG! So, I ended up with the soup
in two pots and didn't use quite all the liquid, but was VERY happy with the
results. Really good soup! For the protein I used half red beans and half
garbanzo and the grain was half brown rice and half barley. I also added a
couple red chili peppers just for fun smileys/smile.gif Oh, I had a large can of tomato
juice, so I used only one 12 oz can tomato paste and the juice instead of
most of the water.
I ended up with lunch for my husband plus 8 quart zip lock bags in the
freezer. As easy as Campbell's and soooo much better (and healthier!)
