Orzo Pasta Salad- A refreshing summer dish

Ingredients (we did as per our needs but you use as little or as much as you like)
Orzo pasta (1 pack 500 grams) in video we used 250 grams
cucumbers( 1 diced)
cherry tomatoes (diced about 2 cups)
marinated italian olives (pitted and chopped about 1 cup)
Bocconcini (1 container 400 grams diced)
Chickpeas strained (1can)
parsley washed and chopped
juice of 1 lemon
lemon zest of 1 full lemon
salt and pepper to taste
a drizzle of olive oil

Directions
boil your package or pasta in salad water and cook to all dente-

while pasta water is cooking - dice up all your ingredients
once pasta is cooked to al dente (about 8 mins or so)
remove and strain and rinse in cold water to stop cooking process
drizzle with olive oil, toss and set aside to fully cool-

once pasta is cooled you just add all your veggies to a bowl- season with salt, pepper, olive oil ,parsley, pesto, lemon juice and lemon zest and give it a good toss- you can serve right away- but preferably let chill at least a couple of hours in the fridge so that the flavours marinate and marry together making each bite that much more delightfully refreshing and bright ! this is such an easy pasta dish to make and impress anyone with!

serve as a side dish or a mail meal!

visually eye catching and your taste buds will burst with the flavour combination.

note that you can choose any seasonal veggies you want! make it your own and get creative.
