The secret to this salad is orzo that’s simmered in Swanson broth until all of the wonderful flavor soaks right in. Add sweet peaches, spicy arugula and fresh mint for a unique and delicious summer salad.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth
  • 8 ounces (about 1 1/3 cups) uncooked orzo pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 large peach, pitted and chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves

Instructions

  • 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.

  • 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.
