Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine pesto, lemon juice, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Stir until well combined, season with salt and pepper, and set dressing aside.
  2. 2 Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo, and cook until tender yet still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, and transfer to a medium bowl.
  3. 3 Stir dressing into pasta, and allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow flavors meld.
  4. 4 Gently fold in tomatoes, mozzarella, cucumbers, and peas.
