    This easy cold air fryer grilled vegetable orzo salad is the perfect summer side dish! It's a healthy pasta salad loaded with veggies and a simple Italian dressing. I like to make this salad a day ahead to serve at barbecues and with meals.

    How do you make orzo salad?

    For this gluten free grilled vegetable orzo salad I used Jovial Grain Free Cassava Orzo Pasta. I cooked the pasta per the pasta instructions being sure not to overcook it. Then, I cut up the veggies and coated them with the olive oil mixture.

    I places the chopped veggies into my air fryer basket and cooked at 360 degrees for 5 minutes. Next, I combined the veggies, pasta, apple cider vinegar and olive oil in a serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least one hour and serve cold.

    Should orzo be rinsed after cooking?

    Yes, after you have cooked the gluten free orzo per the package instructions be sure to rinse the pasta in cold water. Removing the extra starch will help the pasta not to clump together. If the pasta starts to clump before you get it mixed into the salad rinse it with cold water again and let drain.
