This refreshing orzo pasta salad is made with a healthy dressing of avocado oil and preserved lemon, rich in various vitamins and minerals.About this recipe:Orzo is a cute, rice-shaped pasta. It's great in salads because the dressing clings well, making it delicious. The only seasoning is preserved lemon! Perfect for lunch, as an appetizer, or with wine. This is a dish I'm proud of and highly recommend you try. It's also tasty with couscous or quinoa.
