Mediterranean Orzo Pasta Salad

Mediterranean Orzo Pasta Salad one of the Meal Kit options in Purple Carrot's rotating weekly lineup.

Pasta is a type of food typically made from an unleavened dough of wheat flour mixed with water or eggs, and formed into sheets or other shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. Pasta was originally only made with durum, although the definition has been expanded to include alternatives for a gluten-free diet, such as rice flour, or legumes such as beans or lentils. [1]
