These are the bell peppers I used.
This recipe makes 2 large salads or 4 side salads. Nutritional information is for 1 side salad.
For the perfect Orzo Arugula Salad, let the cooked orzo cool to room temperature before mixing with the arugula and other ingredients. This prevents the greens from wilting and maintains the salad's fresh texture. Additionally, dress the salad just before serving to keep the arugula crisp and the nuts crunchy.
STORE the Orzo Arugula Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 3-4 days. It's best not to freeze this salad, as the fresh greens and dressing may not thaw well, losing their texture and flavor. If you have leftovers, you can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge.
