Ingredients

3 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 cups orzo

1 can (16 oz) garbanzo beans drained and rinsed

1 1/2 cups red and yellow teardrop tomatoes or grape tomatoe halved

1 large Cucumber diced

3/4 cup red onion finely chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves chopped

1/4 cup Pasley chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons salt

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil


Directions

Pour the broth into a heavy large saucepan. Cover the pan and bring the broth to a boil over high heat. Stir in the orzo. Cover partially and cook until the orzo is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Drain the orzo through a strainer. Transfer the orzo to a large wide bowl and toss until the orzo cools slightly. Set aside to cool completely. Toss the orzo with the beans, tomatoes, onion, basil, mint, and enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature. Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with more salt and pepper, if desired.
