Zesty orzo combines with tuna, broccoli, and olives for a colorful summer bowl.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups whole-wheat orzo (about 13 ounces)
02 -
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
03 -
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
04 -
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
05 -
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
06 -
4 cups finely chopped broccoli (about 14 ounces)
07 -
2 cans (5 ounces each) tuna in olive oil, drained and flaked
08 -
1 cup sliced pitted Kalamata olives
09 -
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, until just al dente, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, ground pepper, and salt until well combined.
03 -
Add the cooled orzo, chopped broccoli, flaked tuna, olives, and oregano to the bowl with dressing. Stir thoroughly to combine.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Monitor the orzo closely while cooking to avoid over-softening; it will continue to soften in the dressing.
