Orzo Salad
I made this Orzo Salad from Super Natural Every Day with a friend who doesn't like cheese or pine nuts (two key ingredients in the pesto) and she had seconds! I love a good vegetable pesto. The pesto is made from broccoli, and there are also broccoli florets in the salad. The creme fraiche in the pesto made it unique. I've never used creme fraiche before - it's kind of a cross between yogurt and butter. Kind of the consistency of yogurt, but tastes kind of like flavorless butter. It's confusing, but I know that you can make cultured butter from creme fraiche, so I don't think I'm too far off here.
Sadly, this was not as good the second day. Maybe it was too cold while I was eating it, but I was totally overwhelmed by the garlic, which didn't happen when it was fresh. I liked it, but I'm not sure I'll make it again.
