Gluten free orzo salad with black beans, avocado and cilantro.
I owed you this recipe since I published my grilled pork meatballs. It’s perfect for pairing with barbecues, although I also like it as a main dish at lunch. Best of all is that while the orzo is cooked, you chop the rest of the ingredients, make the vinaigrette and have your salad ready in a jiffy.
I love orzo because it seems like rice but it’s actually pasta and in this case it’s gluten free! Watch the video to see how to make it step-by-step and please subscribe to my YouTube channel, where I will be posting videos with recipes and cooking techniques.
