Ingredients

FOR THE GRILLED VEGGIES

FOR THE DRESSING

FOR THE SALAD

  • 1 cup dried orzo cooked
  • 6 oz grilled artichoke hearts in oil drained and chopped
  • 3 cups arugula

Instructions

  • Combine zucchini, tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix to coat evenly. Heat an outdoor grill or indoor griddle to medium-high heat. Transfer tomatoes to a piece of foil before placing on the grill - place zucchini slices directly on grill. Cook until tomatoes begin to burst and zucchini has grill marks on both sides (approx. 8 minutes). Remove from the grill and set aside to cool.
  • While the veggies are cooling, bring a pot of water to a boil and add orzo. Cook according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside until ready to use.
  • To prepare the dressing, add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
  • To assemble, combine cooked veggies, orzo, artichoke hearts and arugula in a large bowl. Add dressing until desired consistency is reached and toss to combine.*

Notes

*You will probably have more dressing than you need. Reserve remaining dressing for leftovers as the pasta will absorb some of the dressing.
