Orzo Salad

1Lb box orzo, cooked per package directions
2 cucumbers,peeled & diced
1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
1/2 small onion, minced
1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper(any color)
3-4 basil leaves, finely torn 
1/2 cup mayo                                               
1/4 cup milk
1 T. white vinegar
Salt & pepper
1/2 grated parmesan



While orzo is cooking, in a large bowl, make the dressing by mixing the mayo, milk, vinegar, salt and pepper with a whisk; for about 20 seconds.

Drain orzo, and add to bowl of dressing mixture. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Can serve warm, but best if refrigerated at least an hour.

This salad is great as a side, but just by
adding grilled chicken breast or shrimp,
you have a meal!




**Don't forget to salt your water once it's reached a rapid bowl before adding the orzo.  This is the case when cooking any pasta!
