Do you look for a variety of salads to serve utilizing your fresh herbs like I do?  We have a glorious Cilantro plant this summer, along with an abundance of Basil.  I love, love, love tomatoes and the grape ones are so sweet and succulent right now!  We were headed out to the lake with friends and because we’re together a lot, I felt I wanted to change it up and bring something out that was different than our usual “go to” salads.  Orzo is a fun pasta, which is delicious cool and seems a bit lighter on a hot day mod!

I was inspired to make this salad after enjoying one similar years ago that a friend had brought to the office.  I always tend to change recipes based on what I have on hand… This dish is no different.  The lemon adds a brightness, the herbs are fresh!  While the yolk adds just the right amount of creaminess along with thee small amount of cheese!  I cooked the pasta a day in advance and put it together in about five minutes.  This salad also holds up for a day or two, so make it when you have time and then “take it and go!” (a few of you will catch that phrase!)  I hope you enjoy it too download videos in safari!
