One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

Orzo salad with lemon, chicken & fresh basil

1 lb dry orzo pasta - cooked al dente (7min in) about 6 C beef broth.
Drain pasta & stir. Put in large bowl, stir & let cool.
Gently stir in:

1 (16oz) can drained garbanzo beans
1 (13oz) can shredded chicken breast
Fresh basil - Chiffonade
Red wine vinaigrette (below)
Salt & pepper to taste


Red wine vinaigrette (adapted from giada de laurentis):
1/2 C red wine vinegar
1/4 C fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. honey
2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. freshly cracked pepper
2 chopped shallots

Blend above ingredients together in blender & drizzle in Extra Virgin olive oil (about 1 C). Pour over pasta etc & toss the salad.
Chill for as long as you want - but note that the basil will turn black where cut. :( Serve at room temperature.
