Chicken and Orzo Salad is a vibrant dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, combining tender grilled chicken, al dente orzo pasta, and a medley of fresh vegetables like cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onions. Often dressed with a tangy vinaigrette infused with lemon, olive oil, and herbs such as parsley or dill, this salad offers a refreshing balance of flavors. Packed with lean protein from the chicken, fiber and essential vitamins from the vegetables, and energy-sustaining carbohydrates from the orzo, it provides a wholesome meal option. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while the inclusion of fresh herbs and lemon adds antioxidant benefits. While nutritious overall, its calorie count can rise depending on portion size or added creamy dressings. Ideal for a quick lunch or side dish, Chicken and Orzo Salad is both satisfying and nourishing, showcasing the healthful simplicity of Mediterranean-inspired eating.
