Total Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 6 Servings

Ingredients :
    Orzo Cooking Ingredients:
  • 1 – 12 oz. package orzo
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
  • Salad Ingredients:
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 4 cups fresh chopped baby spinach
  • 15 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
  • ½ cup red onion, fine dice
  • Roasted Veggie Ingredients:
  • 1 small zucchini, chopped to 1-inch squares
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped to 1-inch squares
  • 1 orange bell pepper, chopped to 1-inch squares
  • 25 to 30 cherry (or grape) tomatoes
  • Sprinkle of garlic powder
  • Sprinkle of onion powder
  • Sprinkle of paprika
  • Sprinkle sea salt (+/-) *
  • Sprinkle black pepper (+/-) *



Instructions :
  • Set oven to high broil.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper set aside.
  • In a bowl, toss the chopped zucchini, chopped bell peppers and whole grape tomatoes with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt and pepper, then lay out onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Place under the broiler for approx. 7 minutes or until the veggies have reached a tender-crisp stage. When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool. The tomatoes will be wrinkled, but should not burst.
  • In the meantime, in a medium sauce pot, add 4 cups of water, 2 cups of vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon of dried basil and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Heat to boiling, then add the orzo and cook according to package directions. When el dente or tender, depending on personal preference, remove from the heat, drain and rinse with cold water, drain well. Set aside until ready to make the salad.
  • While the pasta is cooking, add all the Salad Ingredients into a large bowl.
  • Make the Lemon Hemp Dressing. Make the Lemon Hemp Dressing, then make an additional 1/2 portion of the Lemon Hemp Dressing.
  • Add the cooked and cooled orzo pasta into the bowl, along with the cooled (or slightly warm) roasted veggies, and all the other salad ingredients, then add half the Lemon Hemp Dressing and toss well (see notes).
  • Continue to drizzle with some of the remaining salad dressing based upon preference. You may not need to use it all. Do not drench the salad with dressing. Retain any remaining salad dressing to add later as the pasta tends to drink up the salad dressing.
  • Taste and add additional sea salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve as a delicious side salad or lunch.
