The chilled salad our Test Kitchen tossed together is an ideal warm-weather refresher. Golden corn, grape tomatoes and fresh basil bring the very best of summer to the table. Subtly salty olives add an interesting contrast to the other sun-sweetened veggies Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta |
2 cups frozen corn, thawed |
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
1/2 cup grape or cherry tomatoes |
1/2 cup pitted greek olives, halved |
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion |
1/4 cup minced fresh basil or 4 teaspoons dried basil |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Place in a large serving bowl; add the corn, red pepper, tomatoes, olives, onion, basil and parsley.
2. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper; shake well. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Yield: 8 servings.
