Bab's Orzo & Rice Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette
Ready In: 45 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup orzo pasta, cooked
- 1 (6 ounce) box wild rice, cooked (I used Uncle Ben's Original with 23 herbs and spices)
- 3⁄4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 3⁄4 cup toasted pine nuts
- 2⁄3 cup craisins or 2⁄3 cup currants

Dijon Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1⁄3 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Directions
- Make the vinaigrette first by whisking the mustard and vinegar together.
- Slowly add oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly until all the oil is added and dressing is creamy and emulisified.
- Add the salt and pepper; season with additional salt& pepper if desired.
- Toss the orzo, rice, red bell pepper, red onion, toasted pine nuts, basil, craisins or currants with the Dijon vinaigrette and chill for a couple hours before serving.
