Orzo is a small pasta that resembles rice. Loaded with flavor, this side dish is heartburn-friendly because it has little fat and no irritating spices. It's versatile too, quickly turning into a main dish when tossed with cooked chicken, grilled salmon or any other cooked meat. 1. Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large bowl. 2. Stir in the corn, pimento, basil, vinegar, oil and salt; toss thoroughly to combine. Adjust seasoning if desired. Serve at room temperature. Note: If preparing this recipe ahead, cover and refrigerate. Before serving, let it stand at room temperature for about 1 hour to remove the chill. Stir thoroughly and serve. Makes 4 servings Note: I doubled this recipe and served it with fish on 9/24/2010. It was a hit with the family. Developed by Pat Baird, M.A., R.D.
