| A delicious healthful salad with whole wheat orzo, kale, chickpeas, lemon, and Feta. You could use brown rice or quinoa for a gluten-free version of this tasty salad. |
A few years ago I discovered 100% Whole Wheat Orzo Pasta, and I've used it to make a few tasty pasta salads since then. If you're not familiar with it, orzo is a type of pasta that's shaped like large grains of rice, and if you don't want to bother finding the whole wheat orzo or for a gluten-free version of this salad, cooked brown rice would make a fine substitute. Of course it won't surprise anyone that I took a fantastic-sounding salad with spinach and switched out the spinach for kale. I used regular curly kale so we trimmed it and wilted the kale for a minute, but if you had Earthbound Farm Ready-to-use Organic Mixed Baby Kales you could just give the kale a few rough chops and throw it in the salad. We also added some cumin into the dressing for this salad, which gave it a bit of a Mediterranean flavor. No matter what version of this salad you end up with, we thought this delightful combination of flavors was a perfect meatless meal.
