Lemony Orzo Salad
This salad is packed with summer colour and flavour. Using our Lemon & Caper Dressing with its summer feels, this recipe also uses Shepherds Purse's Mrs Bell's Salad Cheese. This cheese is a Mediterranean salad style cheese made with milk from English ewes. Its piquant, lemony flavour and slightly crumbly texture make it ideal for this dish.
This dish serves 4 people and can be served warm or cold. If serving cold, make sure the roasted vegetables and orzo are both fully cooled before putting together.
INGREDIENTS
Large red or yellow pepper, or a mix of both
Aubergine
Courgette
Medium red onion
150g Shepherds Purse's Mrs Bell's Salad Cheese , cubed
½ tsp coarse sea salt and good twist of black pepper
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
300g orzo
METHOD
Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C fan / Gas mark 4.
Firstly, roughly chop the pepper, aubergine, courgette and red onion into similar sized chunks and pop into a roasting dish along with a good drizzle of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil, coarse sea salt, black pepper and the dried mixed herbs. Roast in the oven for around 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through.
Whilst the veggies are cooking, cook the orzo to the packet instructions. Set aside to cool.
Remove the vegetables from the oven, and onced cooled, combine all the ingredients, including the salad cheese, together ensuring they have a good covering of the Lemon & Caper Dressing, and adjust to taste. Serve and enjoy.
