1 C fresh Apricots; (about 4), and diced or julienned
1 tsp chopped fresh Coriander
1/4 tsp ground Coriander
1/3 C thinly sliced Green onions
1/3 C sliced toasted Almonds
5 Tbs Oil (infused with 1/2 tsp finely diced Ginger)

Instructions

Bring a medium-size pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add orzo and cook about 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water.

Place the orzo in a bowl and combine with the fresh apricots, fresh and ground coriander, green onion and almonds. Toss with 4 to 5 tablespoons of the ginger oil, until the pasta is just moist. Season with salt and pepper.

Squeeze the fresh lemon juice on the salad and mix. Serves 6.
