How to Make Orzo Kale Salad
- Bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil, add the dry orzo, and cook until al dente, which typically takes 8-12 minutes. Drain and let it cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale and spinach. Toss them gently to mix.
- Add the cooled orzo, pumpkin seeds, marinated olives, and shaved Parmesan to the greens. Stir everything together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, crushed garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
- Garnish with extra lemon zest and Parmesan if desired. Enjoy this salad cold, warm, or at room temperature.
