rosa marina salad
(1 RATING)
Okay yeah I know people tend to wrinkle their nose when it comes to pasta & fruit salad. Sounds weird, but this recipe is sooooo worth the wrinkled noses of those you tell. Absolutely delicious and far beyond what i ever expected. My family made me promise to call them when i make it so they can come over and have some. lol I have found that Rosa Marina is also called Orzo depending on where you live. In NY it was Rosa Marina and in North Carolina it's Orzo. It is basically pasta that looks like large pieces of rice.

Step 4Rinse pasta with cold water after draining.

Step 5Turn pasta into a large bowl and mix with the hot fruit juice sauce, then refrigerate at least 4-6 hours (preferably overnight to allow the sauce to flavour the pasta).

Step 7Optional: You can add Marachino Cherries as a garnis if you wish, but i find that it's better without them.
