Christmas in July Orzo Salad

What is it about red and green that automatically makes you think of Christmas? I can't even cook with red and green without humming Jingle Bells.

Which is how this Christmas in July orzo salad came about!

A quick, easy side dish when the last thing you want to do is slave over dinner in the summer! 

Christmas in July Orzo Salad

Serves 4 as a side dish

Prep Time: 5 min. Total Time: 20 min.

Ingredients:

-1 c. orzo

-2 cloves garlic, minced

-1/2 green bell pepper, diced

-3/4 c. cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

-1 tbsp. EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)

-Grated Parmesan cheese

-Handful of fresh basil, chopped

-Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:

Cook orzo according to box directions.

Meanwhile, saute garlic in EVOO until slightly browned and fragrant. Add bell peppers and cherry tomatoes and cook over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until veggies are soft.

When orzo is done cooking, drain and combine with vegetable mixture.

Go-To Dinner

SkinnyTaste strikes again!

I've found our new go-to summer dinner and it is a complete hit!

Spaghetti with Sauteed Chicken and Grape Tomatoes.

It's a light, fresh, scrumptious dish that is easy to make and easy to clean up! I also love that it doesn't require a lot of extra ingredients from what I already have at home so I can quickly pick them up at the grocery on short notice!

Trust me on this one, y'all. It will be your new go-to, as well.

I followed the original recipe found here and added in a large splash of balsamic vinegar inspired by here!

Enjoy!
