Tips & Tricks

For this recipe we’ve used orzo. Orzo is a pasta shaped like grains of rice, just a little bigger. It is very popular in some countries. It’s great to use because it cooks in just 4 minutes in boiling water. This makes it a fabulous option when you’re short on time

Why not give your salad a refreshing tang and sprinkle a few chopped cilantro leaves on top?

We used red onion, but you can use any variety of onion that you have at home. Whatever you use is sure to be delicious.
