Sweet Corn and Lime Orzo Summer Salad

Made this yesterday and it turned out pretty well.

Orzo Summer Salad


Nouns-
2-3 cups dried orzo, prepared
1 red pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 small summer squash, sliced in half-coins
1-2 cups sweet corn kernels
1 sweet onion, sliced thinly
2 limes, juiced and zested
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
fresh black pepper
salt
cilantro, for garnish


Verbs-
Broil the squash in the toaster oven until browned if you'd like it cooked.  Rinse the orzo in cold water and drain.  Mix the orzo, peppers, squash, onions, and corn together in a large bowl.  Then, whisk the lime juice, zest, oil, cumin and chili powder together in a small bowl.  Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and season with pepper and salt to taste.  Garnish with cilantro.  Yummm!
