This is a light and lemony pasta dish that is terrific served with seafood or chicken. You could add grilled shrimp to this dish for an entrée that is great on a warm summer's night. Great to make ahead of time !

How to Make Sunny Citrus Orzo
- Cook orzo according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
- While orzo is cooking, zest lemon and juice it. If using fresh herbs go ahead and chop them.
- In a bowl add olive oil. While stirring with a whisk add in lemon juice a little at a time to incorporate into olive oil.
- Add herbs and zest to olive oil and lemon mixture then pour over orzo. Add the almonds, salt and pepper to taste, and stir well. I like to serve this dish cold. Great to make ahead !
- I like to serve this with seafood or with Chicken Breast with a Spicy Orange Glaze.
