Recipe - Orzo Pasta Salad - 8 WWs points

This salad is a cracking, low point, healthy meal in itself or accompaniment to veggie burgers on the BBQ or in a picnic! Serves 4.

The stuff that makes it -
250g orzo pasta
140g sundried tomatoes
Handful of baby plum tomatoes, left out of the fridge for a day and quartered
50g or so of sliced black olives
3 spring onions
Handful of chopped chives, and/or fresh basil from the garden
Good quality olive oil for drizzling

What to do with it all -
Cook the pasta according to the instructions. It cooks really quick so this is a perfect quick lunch.
While the pasta is cooking drain and roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Put them into a mixing bowl with all the other ingredients.
Stir in the cooked pasta, after draining it and rinsing it in cold water.
Mix all the ingredients together and drizzle in some olive oil while doing so. Not too much, but enough to add a little flavour to the dish.

Delicious!
