Pesto Zucchini Orzo

This was REALLY yummy -- I probably wouldn't make it as the entire meal but it would be awesome for a side dish to some meat!!

Serves 4

Ingredients:
8oz orzo

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ cup white wine vinegar

Salt and pepper

2 small zucchini (about 4oz each). Very thinly sliced

2 small yellow squash (about 4oz each), very thinly sliced

½ cup pesto

¼ cup toasted almonds, chopped

Cook orzo per package directions – drain well, then transfer to large bowl, toss with oil.

In another bowl, whisk together vinegar and ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Add zucchini and squash and toss to combine.

With slotted spoon, transfer veggies to bowl with orzo, leaving vinegar in bowl and toss to combine.

Whisk pesto into vinegar, and drizzle over orzo and sprinkle with almonds.
