Preparation method
Preparing the pasta and ingredients
Boil the orzo pasta in boiling water with a pinch of salt according to the package instructions (approximately 8-9 minutes) until al dente. Rinse briefly under cold running water and drain.
Cut the plum cherry tomatoes in half, the sun-dried tomatoes into thin strips, and the fresh mozzarella into medium cubes. Slice the black olives into rings.
Assembling the salad and serving
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing: whisk the extra virgin olive oil with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Chef's tip
The salad can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container; add the arugula and basil just before serving to keep their crunchy texture.
You can also add a little finely grated lemon zest to the dressing for an even fresher citrus note.
