Orzo Pasta

We absolutely love this orzo pasta! We have it all the time in the summer but it is great all year long. Our favorite part of this recipe is the endless combinations you can do, you can easily change the ingredients based on what you're craving or what you have in your fridge. 

This salad makes an excellent side dish but you can easily dress it up with some protein to make it a main dish. This is always on our meal prep list for when we go camping or any trip where we need a nutritious meal at the ready.

We are dedicated to making recipes that anyone can enjoy, no matter what allergies or restrictions you have. This recipe is gluten and dairy free, but we have also provided a substitute recipe that is also low FODMAP and vegan.
