Ingredients

  • ½ cup dried orzo

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Boil or grill the ears of corn until tender. If starting with corn kernels, microwave until tender or broil until tender and slightly browned for a grilled corn-like taste.

  3. Drain the orzo and transfer to a medium-large bowl with the cooked corn.
  4. Halve the tomatoes and toss with the orzo and corn.
