Instructions

1
Cook the orzo in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain well. Place orzo in a big mixing bowl and drizzle with a bit of Low FODMAP Lemon Salad Dressing while it is still warm - just enough to coat.
2
Wash, dry, trim and thinly slice the cucumbers crosswise and add to the now room temp orzo. Add the halved tomatoes, dill, parsley, scallion greens and lemon zest. Add enough salad dressing to coat. Taste and season well with salt and pepper. Allow to sit for 15 minutes for flavors to meld and serve. We much prefer this freshly made. If you want to refrigerate, please bring all the way back to room temperature before serving and be prepared to refresh with a bit more dressing. You can try refrigerating in an airtight container for 24 hours.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cook orzo 1 minute under al dente, then shock in ice water to halt cooking—it continues softening as it sits with the dressing.
Use only the green parts of scallions (white and light green are high FODMAP); finely chop to distribute flavor evenly.
Toast or lightly char tomato halves before adding if you want deeper flavor and less watery dressing.
Zest the lemon over the finished salad just before serving to preserve bright citrus notes.
