Ingredients
Amt.	Measure	Ingredient



3/4	cups	orzo pasta
8	ounces	boconcini balls
2	cup cherry tomatoes	Tomatoes
10	leaves	Bouquet Garni or MIxed herbs with Thyme/Basil/Sage/Bay leaves
1/4	cup	olive oil
1/8	cup	balsamic vinegar
1	clove	garlic minced
1/2	teaspoon	salt
1/4	teaspoon	black pepper

Steps

Sequence	Step

1	Cook the orzo in salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool, tossing occasionally so that the orzo doesn''t clump together.
2	While the orzo is cooking and cooling, prepare the dressing by combining the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. You may whisk it vigorously in a bowl, shake it in a tightly-sealed jar, or pulse it in a mini food processor.
3	Once the orzo is cool, transfer to a large bowl. Carefully mix in the sliced fresh mozzarella, tomato halves, basil chiffonade, and about 2/3 of the prepared vinaigrette, or as much as you prefer. Adjust salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled, stirring in additional dressing just before serving (since the dressing will soak into the pasta while in the fridge).
