Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup uncooked orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
1 1/2 cups (1-inch) diagonally cut asparagus
1 1/2 cups chopped seeded tomato
1 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans
2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 cup (1 oz) shredded reduced-fat
cheddar cheese

Directions:

Cook orzo according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
While orzo cooks, steam asparagus, covered, 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse asparagus with cold water; drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.
Drain orzo, reserving 2 tablespoons cooking liquid. Combine orzo, asparagus, tomato, beans, and cilantro in a large bowl. Combine reserved 2 tablespoons cooking liquid, vinegar, oil, and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Pour dressing over salad; toss gently. Sprinkle with cheese.
