ORZO - BEAN SALAD

2/3 cup uncooked orzo

3/4 cup frozen shelled edamame
3/4 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
2 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
18 tsp pepper
2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Cook orzo according to the package directions but leave out any salt or butter, etc called for. Approximately 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the edamame and carrots; continue cooking until the orzo is tender. Drain. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the black beans and bell pepper.

In a small bowl whisk the lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Pour the dressing over the salad; sprinkle the cilantro and Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss gently. Do not chill before serving.
