In this post, I asked what you'd been cooking. jAne mentioned a pasta salad of sorts made with orzo. It sounded delicious, and didn't threaten to heat up the kitchen, so I made my own version.
I cooked a pound of orzo pasta, and then doused it with ice water to stop the cooking, just as jAne suggested. To the pasta I added sliced black olives, minced garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. From there, the entire mess went into the refrigerator. For the next several days at lunch time I measured out one cup of orzo, and to it I added diced sweet peppers, cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced baby Bella mushrooms to make a BIG heaping plate of food. I sprinkled a little more balsamic vinegar on everything just before serving, and topped it with Jane's Krazy Salt. Very appropriate, dontcha think? ;-)

Jane's Crazy Salt. hm. are you implying i'm crazy?! ;o)
looks GOOD. freezes well too. i have 2 quart size bags in the deep freeze. taking one out for dinner tomorrow to go along with grilled salmon. mmm.
That sounds delicious, though I might leave off the mushrooms and add avocado instead!
Looks delicious!
that's a good idea - instead of making the entire pasta salad right off the bat. I like it. I've never used Jane's Crazy Salt. . . .maybe I should try it.
