Spring Sprout Orzo Salad

1 Yellow Bell Pepper, Diced

1/2 Red Onion, Diced

1/4 c Fat Free Feta

1/2 c Shaved Brussel Sprouts

3 tbsp Fresh, Chopped Parsley

3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Pink Himalayan Sea Salt/Fresh Cracked Black Pepper

 

Let’s Get Sprouted:

  2. Dice pepper, onion, and sprouts(if whole). Chop Parsley.
  3. In a medium sized bowl, mix all ingredients, drizzle with EVOO and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Tidbits:

  • Trader Joe’s sells shaved brussel sprouts, much more convenient than chopping your own sprouts, You could always throw them in a food processor though.
  • Add more EVOO if you find the orzo too dry, or add more lemon.
  • Lemon zest is a great option to add.
