Orange and Balsamic Orzo Salad
This is a gorgeous salad, it's light, refreshing and zingy! Sweetness from the honey, a twang from the balsamic vinegar and a combination of both from the oranges which brings both flavours together. Full of lovely super free and as colourful as a rainbow.
This salad goes beautifully with Orange and Ginger Tilapia
