So I still had some
fried chicken left, and short of making some potatoes or biscuits, I decided I wanted a side that was just a little bit lighter. A plain ol' green salad seemed a touch boring...
Hey, this sounds perfect – an
orzo and spinach prima vera? And lucky me – I have all the ingredients on hand!
Well, sort of. My bell peppers are orange, my lemon rind is dried, and the spinach I have is chopped and frozen, but I bet they will do the job... Fresh spinach would wilt pretty quickly in the heat, right, so I don't think there's
much difference.
Pretty as a picture, no? The slicing and dicing can be done while you're cooking your orzo, and this goes together in minutes.
A beautiful side, or a light meal or snack... I can see several pairings for a new favorite, as well as different seasonings to explore
