How to Make It
Step 1
Heat the broth and orzo in a 2 1/2-quart saucepan over high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 12 minutes until the orzo is tender and broth is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Do not drain. Remove the orzo to a large bowl and let cool for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Beat the oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, salt and black pepper in a small bowl with a fork or whisk. Add the lime mixture, peaches, arugula and mint to the orzo and toss to coat. Season to taste.
Recipe Tips
- To make ahead, prepare as noted above but don't stir in the arugula and mint. Cover and refrigerate the orzo mixture and stir in the arugula and mint just before serving.
