How to Make Confetti Orzo Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 cup of orzo pasta and cook according to package directions, about 10-12 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the orzo is cooking, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
- Finely dice 1/2 cup red bell pepper, 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, 1/2 cup cucumber, and 1/4 cup red onion. (Consider using other colorful vegetables like cherry tomatoes or zucchini!)
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, prepared dressing, and diced vegetables. Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy hot or cold!
