Deselect All

For the salad:

1 pound orzo

2 cloves garlic, chopped

2 lemons, juiced

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley leaves

For the lemon cups:

6 lemons

Directions

For the salad: In salted, boiling water, cook the orzo until al dente. Strain and cool. Whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, and extra-virgin olive oil. In a large bowl, toss the orzo together with the tomatoes, parsley, and olive oil mixture. Season, to taste, with salt and fresh ground pepper.
For the lemon cups: Cut a small piece off both tips of the lemon. Make sure the cut does not expose any flesh, only pith. Cut the lemon evenly in half across the diameter. Use a spoon to remove the flesh of the lemon and scrape the skin clean, being careful not to cut or damage the skin.
To assemble: Fill each lemon cup with the orzo salad and arrange on a platter for service.
