another recipe

Here's another recipe, and it's great because it actually IS a recipe. It's from Giada De Laurentiis. It's a wonderful summer salad recipe.

1 tsp honey
1/2 cup olive oil

6 cups chicken broth
1 lb orzo (riso)

1 -7oz package feta
1 cup chopped basil
1 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup pine nuts

Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, honey together. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinagrette with salt & pepper.

Bring broth to a boil. Stir in orzo; reduce heat to medium and cover partially. Boil until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer to large bowl and cool.

Mix tomatoes, feta, basil & onions into orzo. Add vinegar and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Add pine nuts before serving.
