SALMON & ORZO SALAD

Here's a new recipe that is perfect for a potluck salad, an appetizer, lunch, or supper.  It's basically this recipe from Epicure Selections, although I didn't really measure things and made some minor changes.

SALMON & ORZO SALAD
2 - 170 g. cans boneless, skinless salmon
1 c. cooked orzo (or use rice or quinoa)
3 radishes, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green onion, diced
1/2 cucumber, diced
squeeze of lemon (optional)
lettuce or tortillas (optional)

Toss everything together, and drizzle with fresh lemon juice or Sesame Ginger dressing. Serve as a salad or spoon into lettuce leaves or tortillas to make wraps.
Isn't it pretty!
This salad is very light and fresh.  It's supposed to be our main course tonight, although I suspect it won't be filling enough so I think I will serve it as a side dish instead and then make some wraps for lunch tomorrow.

Enjoy!
Pin It!
