YUM! This was so delicious. I used it as a side dish with shrimp as my entree. It is so flavorful, light and scrumptious for the summer.
Serves 4
1 Cup uncooked orzo
1 Cup whole kernel yellow corn
12 Cherry tomatoes, quartered
3 Green onions, chopped
1 15oz Can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 Cup lowfat buttermilk
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp light sour cream
2 Tbsp lowfat mayo
1 Tsp chili powder
1 Tsp crushed or ground red pepper
1/2 Tsp kosher salt
1/4 Tsp ground black pepper
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
Avocado and Parsley optional for garnish
1. Cook orzo according to package. Drain well. Place orzo, corn, onions, tomatoes and beans in a large bowl. Toss.
2. Combine buttermilk, cilantro and next 8 ingredients (through garlic) in a small bowl. Whisk. Drizzle over orzo, toss well.
Serve room temperature or chilled. I made the sauce and the orzo mixture ahead of time, then tossed them together right before serving. Excellent! You could make this an entree and put a nice piece of grilled fish on top of the mixture. Squeeze some extra lime over it and voila!
