Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb orzo pasta
2 cups fresh corn kernels , cut off the cob
1 cup finely chopped red sweet bell pepper
1 cup kalamata olive, pitted, cut in half
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion (white and green parts )
2 tbsp coarsely chopped basil (regular or opal)
2 tbsp drained capers
1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp wine vinegar (we used red )
1/8 tsp salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper , to taste
fresh edible flower , such as fresh nasturtium (optional)

Directions:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and transfer to a large serving bowl.
Add the corn, red pepper, olives and scallions and toss well. Add the basil, capers, parsley, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and gently toss. (The salad can be made about 2 hours ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate until 30 minutes before serving.) Decorate the salad with the edible flowers right before serving.
