Apr 2023

whole or 1/2 cherry tomatoes, black olives, capers, sweet pepper (red is pretty) garlic, basil, s&p, and zesty Italian dressing. If you you a whole box of orzo, you probably need a 16 oz bottle of zesty Itialian. The rest of the ingredients, almost a pint of tomatoes, 2/3 can of black olives, a couple tbs capers, 1/2 a large pepper chopped, garlic, basil, s& p to taste. You can pur some sweet onion rings in, if you like.
