Pesto Salmon & Italian Orzo Veggie Salad

I'm usually not a fan of cold pasta salads

or a big pasta person at all for that matter 

but I was craving one so bad for some reason... 

SO I made this delicious contraption, and let me tell you  

I am officially a fan. 

For the Salmon:

Ingredients

• Salmon filet (skin removed)
• Pesto
• Cherry tomatoes
• Foil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Remove skin and place salmon in foil in a baking dish
3. Smear on pesto and top with halved tomatoes
4. Wrap up foil together at the top (like a basket)
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until salmon is pink and flaky

Seriously - It's that easy!!

For the Orzo Pasta:

Ingredients

• Orzo (cooked)
• Broccoli
• Peppers
• Onions
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Italian Dressing

Directions

1. Cook orzo according to package (desired serving size) - I used about 1 cup orzo
2. Let cool and place in refrigerator 
3. Add chopped broccoli, peppers, onions, and tomatoes
4. Add Italian dressing to desired taste - I used about 1/4 cup dressing
5. Mix well 
6. Store in refrigerator and enjoy cold!
