Cooking Directions

  • Heat the broth and orzo in a 2 1/2-quart saucepan over high heat to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low.  Cover and cook for 12 minutes until the orzo is tender and broth is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Do not drain.  Remove the orzo to a large bowl and let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Beat the oil, vinegar, lime juice, lime zest, salt and black pepper in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.  Add the lime mixture, peaches, arugula and mint to the orzo and toss to coat.  Season to taste.
