When it comes to sides for summertime, we like dishes that are cool, refreshing, and packed full of the best produce of the season. That’s why the Chef-prepared Orzo Pasta Salad from our Deli department makes the perfect accompaniment to your summertime meal. We cook our organic orzo to a perfect al dente, and then we toss it with blanched asparagus, oven-roasted tomatoes, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, mint and olive oil. All you need is a simply grilled protein source (we like a nice grilled chicken breast with lemon), and you have a complete summertime meal.

All those fresh summer veggies fill this salad with health-boosting nutrients: the asparagus supplies a wealth of vitamin K, key for bone health, and the roasted tomatoes come packed with lycopene, a colorful red pigment that helps ward off cancer.
