ORZO WITH SPINACH AND PINE NUTS



Orzo with Spinach and Pine Nuts image

I have shared this salad many times with the teachers at my school. They enjoy it so much that they ask me to bring it in. It's best to put the tomatoes on the salad just before serving so they won't wilt from the heat and moisture. In my opinion, the dish would not be as delectable if you substitute another vinegar for the balsamic vinegar.-Kate Whitehead, Lindenhurst, Illinois
