Summer Veggie Orzo : : Salad

A delicious summer salad.

I made this before I started my 5 week cleanse,
 but is a great vegan meal for those not restricting their diets.


Slice some veggies to put on the grill, then grill 'em.
Dice tomatoes and a halve lemon.
Shuck some corn.
Get out your orzo...put a pot of water on to boil.  
Cook according to the package directions.
Brown rice or Quinoa would work well here for a gluten free option.
Rinse your chickpeas, black beans, and olives.
For the dressing combine lemon or lime, cold pressed olive oil,  a couple cloves of garlic, 
salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, cayenne and chili powder.
Chop up those grilled veggies.
Throw all of it into a bowl and mix, mix, mix.
Let it set in the fridge for at least an hour for the flavors to combine.

Eat!
