Spicy Orzo Salad

Sooooo....you know you're slacking on the blog when people actually start requesting blogs. I just haven't been too into lately. But you know what I have been into? Healthy eating. Five days a week we go vegetarian. It's healthy, yummy, and seriously...it's been really easy on the pocketbook! Here's one of my favorites.

Spicy Orzo Salad
1 cup orzo, uncooked
1 cup frozen corn, thawed and drained
Container of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup almond milk
Juice of one lemon
Cilantro, chopped
Juice of one lime
2Tbsp sour cream
2Tbsp mayonaise
1tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 avocado, cut into wedges

1. Cook orzo according to directions, drain and rinse. Place orzo, corn, tomatoes and beans in a large bowl.

2. In a small bowl combine milk, lemon, cilantro, lime, sour cream, mayo and spices. Mix well. Pour over orzo and toss to combine. Serve with avocado. Enjoy!
