Answer 3

Here's my lemon orzo spinach salad recipe. Even though it has only 1 cup of orzo, it makes a HUGE bowl. But you can double it if need be.

1 cup orzo (boil that while chopping and making dressing)

1/2 pkg. fresh spinach leaves (chop it up, it'll wilt with the warm pasta)
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

That's the basic recipe, you can also add sun-dried tomatoes or any veggie.

Lemon vinaigrette:
1/3 cup olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
Spoonful of minced garlic from a jar
Salt, pepper, and a big pinch of dried oregano
Shake all that together.

Toss the drained pasta in with the veggies, toss with the dressing, and then add a pkg of feta crumbles, any flavor. It is so easy and so good.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Maccaroni Salad simple and good

1 pack elbow noodles
1 yellow bellpepper (finely chopped)
1 red bellpepper (finely chopped)
1 green bellpepper (finely chopped)
1 medium size onion (finely chopped)
3-4 Tbs. Mayo
1-2 Cups Milk
salt/pepper for taste

Cook Noodles and let cool down. In a large bowl add Bellpeppers, Onions, Mayo and Milk and mix well. Add Noodles, add Salt/Pepper as desired and mix again. Keep refrigerated for at least two hours before serving. If salad is too sticky add more milk instead of adding Mayo - works fine, tastes good and is less fattening........

You may also add some chopped celery and ham if you like but I rather have it simple.
