    Greek Orzo Salad - Mad Monday

    Jump to recipe

    Winter sure is setting in 'down-under'!  :(  I want to believe that it won't get much colder but in a couple of weeks we are moving from Sydney to Melbourne!  What were we thinking?!   Being an international food blog I do like to recognise my likers in the Northern Hemisphere so this recipe is especially for you guys in the middle of your summer!   :)    BUT I think that this thermomix greek orzo salad is a perfect accompaniment to any protein.  Over the last couple of weeks Steve and I have enjoyed this salad with leftover Herbie the "roast" chook for lunch while the kids have taken it for lunch too.  So it's a lovely side dish all year round!  :)

    The flavours are bold but with the cucumber and the tomatoes it's the perfect balance.  The addition of the olives adds a beautiful salty flavour.

    This is a great salad when you just want a light dinner or lunch and within the time it takes to grill some protein you have a perfect accompaniment and you don't have heaps of washing up!  :D

    Looking for more delicious and quick dinners?  Then make sure you get a copy of my Meals in a Jiffy cookbook with 35 dinner recipes that can be on the table in approx. 30 minutes!
