Add the orzo and cook on low boil for 7-8 minutes until al dente, or according to package directions. Drain and transfer to bowl with dressing \u2013 mix well.<\/li>\n<li>While orzo is cooking, grill the scallions on a pan lightly coated with olive oil until the bulbs are tender and the greens and bulbs are browned, about 8 minutes. Chop scallions once cooled.\u00a0Use similar method with any seasonal vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Add feta and scallions to bowl with the orzo mix. \u00a0\u00a0If you have other seasonal veggies or herbs, mix in at this step.<\/li>\n<li>Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend, or refrigerate. If refrigerated, taste again for seasonings and bring back to room temperature before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>What We Liked<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The turmeric gave the orzo a beautiful color and a unique flavor.<\/li>\n<li>The salad could be served warm or cold.<\/li>\n<li>This could be either a side dish or a main course.<\/li>\n<li>The salad can be batch prepared and stored in the fridge for a later date.<\/li>\n<li>Additional protein can be added or substituted such as chicken, fish, or tofu.<\/li>\n<li>Different vegetables and spices can be added according to your preference.<\/li>\n<li>The recipe uses the whole scallion, which is not the case in many other recipes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Suggestions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Add the dressing and feta cheese when ready to serve the dish to increase the storage time.<\/li>\n<li>Add in different vegetables and spices to enhance the flavor of the salad.<\/li>\n<li>Swap out the feta cheese for tofu or tempeh for a vegan recipe alternative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Nutritional Value<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Whole wheat orzo provides energy and fiber.<\/li>\n<li>Feta cheese and chickpeas are a good source of protein and help the energy from the orzo last longer.<\/li>\n<li>Olive oil is a source of heart healthy unsaturated fat.<\/li>\n<li>Lemon juice and tomatoes add flavor and brightness to the dish, and are good sources of vitamin C.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_5107-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_5107-2-477x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"326\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_5107-2-477x636.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_5107-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_5107-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_5107-2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_5107-2-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9109-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9109-2-477x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"327\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9109-2-477x636.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9109-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9109-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9109-2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9109-2-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9248-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9248-2-477x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"327\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9248-2-477x636.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9248-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9248-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9248-2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/scnc\/files\/2021\/09\/IMG_9248-2-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mia Sugarman, SAR Dietetics \u201822 Sargent Choice Versatile Summer Orzo Salad Recipes modified from FoodNetwork &amp;
