Lemon Orzo Salad

  • 1 lb. whole wheat orzo 
  • 2/3 cup Panera® Mediterranean Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries 
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds 
  • 1 tbsp. lemon zest 
  • 3/4 cup feta, crumbled 
  • 3 cups mixed greens (like arugula, baby kale and baby spinach) 
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • Instructions:
  1. Cook pasta to al dente, drain and rinse 
  2. Mix everything together 
My Notes:
  • Use half the pasta called for
  • Instead of the fancy (and I'm sure delicious) dressing, I just juiced the lemon and mixed it with cheap-o Aldi Italian dressing. It's really good!
  • My greens are all spinach
  • Would be better thoroughly chilled with the greens added just before serving.
