Shrimp & Veggie Salad

I'm a planner. I have no less than three date books, I plan events, I budget...and I plan menus. But I have a bad habit of not reading the entire recipe before putting it on the menu. So, what do you do when you accidentally plan a side as the meal? You get creative, of course!

2 Tbsp cider vinegar

1.5 Tbsp EVOO

Crushed red pepper, to taste

Salt

Shrimp, cooked, cut into bite sized pieces

Can of black beans, rinsed and drained

10 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 Yellow bell pepper, diced

Green onions, diced

Cilantro, chopped

1 cup orzo, cooked

Whisk together first four ingredients. Mix in the rest of the ingredients.

Really! A beautiful, delicious meal is that easy...and fast...to make! The original recipe didn't have pasta in it, thank goodness I had some extra hanging around! It would also be great paired with brown rice. YUM!
