1 |
Bring water
to boil in a large pot. Cut green beans into
2-3" lengths. Add to boiling water and cook 3-5
minutes (until barely tender). Drain and place
in ice water until cold; drain again. |
|
2 |
Fill pot
with water again and bring to a boil over high
heat. Add orzo and cook 8-11 minutes (until
barely tender). Drain and rinse with cold water. |
|
3 |
Husk corn
and discard strings. Rinse corn. Holding each
cob upright, cut off kernels into a large bowl. |
|
4 |
In a small
bowl, whisk vinegar, oil, shallots, mustard,
tarragon and salt and pepper to taste. Set
aside. |
|
5 |
In a large
bowl, mix orzo with ½ cup of the dressing. Add
additional salt and pepper to taste. Spread out
orzo so that it's level. Layer corn kernels,
green beans and tomatoes over the pasta. Cover
salad and chill until ready to serve. Also chill
remaining salad dressing. |
|
6 |
When ready
to serve, pour ¾ of the remaining salad dressing
over the salad and mix gently to blend. Add
additional dressing, salt and pepper as needed. |
