Pea, Crab and Orzo Salad

This salad was glorious, a little summer sunshine on a rainy wintery day. It was lovely and light and fresh and definitely one I'll be making again.

Pea, Crab and Orzo Salad (adapted from Martha Stewart)
(Serves 2)

2 tbsp rice vinegar

4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

salt and pepper     

1 tin jumbo lump crabmeat

 

Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the orzo and cook according to packet instructions. Add the sugar snap peas, mange tout and garden peas for the last 2-3 mins of cooking. Drain and rinse under the cold tap.

Put the pea shoots in a dish or lunchbox and top with the orzo and peas, followed by the crab. Drizzle the dressing over the salad toss to combine and serve.
