Time 15m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts water
1 cup orzo
8 asparagus spears
8 ounces carrots, scraped, quartered and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, undiluted
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
Salt, optional, and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring the water to boil in covered pot.
  • Add orzo and cook for five minutes.
  • Meanwhile wash and trim the asparagus, breaking off the woody stems. Cut the asparagus just below the tips, then cut the remaining stalks into half-inch pieces.
  • Add the carrots and asparagus to the orzo and cook about 3 to 5 minutes longer, until carrots and asparagus are tender.
  • Meanwhile beat together the orange juice concentrate, mustard, vinegar and oil.
  • When orzo and vegetables are cooked, drain and rinse under cold water then drain again. Stir into dressing and season with salt, if desired, and pepper. Mix in the scallions.
