  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 2 cups seedless green grapes, halved
  • 2 cups (1 large) chopped seeded cucumber
  • 1 cup chopped celery

Steps

  • 1
    Cook orzo to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain; rinse with cold water.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Orzo, a rice-shaped pasta, also goes by the name rosamarina, which means "rose of the sea."
  • tip 2
    To seed a cucumber, cut it in half lenghtwise and scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon, small melon baller or grapefruit spoon.
  • tip 3
    Substitute low-fat for regular mayonnaise and skim milk for half-and-half to slash the fat per serving from 16 grams to 3 grams.
