With orzo from last night ready to go, this is an easy pasta salad for weeknight eating (or a warm picnic). Sundried tomatoes provide a tasty base to cover your salad ingredients. Our paleo option features salmon in place of the beans and orzo.
Orzo - If not already cooked yesterday, bring a saucepan of water to boil. Salt generously (that water should taste like the ocean!) and add orzo. Cook according to package instructions. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Broccolini - Chop into 1” (2.5 cm) long segments. Place in a microwave-safe pan and cover with a wet paper towel. Microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Make dressing - Puree Dijon, garlic, sundried tomatoes, vinegar, and olive oil in a food processor or blender (or in the tall cup that should have come with your immersion blender). Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Parsley / Garbanzo beans - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
