Instructions
- Start by adding the orzo into a medium saucepan with boiling water. Bring to a simmer and set the timer according to the packet, this orzo was 8 minutes.
- Prep the salad elements by dicing the cucumber, finely chopping the basil, tearing the drained olives and slicing the sundried tomatoes.
- Once the orzo is ready, drain and rinse through with cold water until the orzo is cold. You don’t want it to be hot otherwise it’ll effect the fresh flavour!
- Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir in a drizzle (around 3 tbsp) of the infused sun-dried tomato oil. Season with salt and divide into your meal prep containers.
- In the morning, before heading out the door- add a handful of rocket and a wedge of lemon to squeeze when you eat it.
