Looking for a lunch that you can keep in the fridge and it'll only get better? Then something like this orzo, mint and sundried tomato salad will hit the spot! Orzo is a type of pasta you can buy in most supermarkets - cheap, tasty and carries a sauce well.
Don't be tempted to use Quark: you're so much better than that.
And yes, you could use cherry tomatoes and make this syn-free, but proper sun-dried tomatoes are tastier and will bring your dish up a treat! Give it a go!
Ingredients
- 350g orzo
- 25g chopped mint
- 110g Philadelphia Lightest (one 1 x HEA)
- 100g chopped sundried tomatoes (6 syns)
- 150g spinach
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- boil your orzo for about eight minutes until soft
- drain the orzo, keeping aside 100ml of the cooking water
- pop the orzo back in the pan, pop the water back in and put it on a very low heat
- add the mint, sundried tomatoes, spinach and cream cheese together with a pinch of salt and pepper and allow the cheese to soften down and the spinach to wilt
- stir and serve!
Notes
- this makes enough for four decent sized portions and keeps well in the fridge
- add peas, peppers, onion, anything you like - but we like to keep it simple
- looking for a lunchbox - you can find us on xtube, or buy your own for your dinner right here - nice and cheap, on both counts
