Preparation

Step 1

Pour the broth into a heavy large saucepan. Cover the pan and

bring the broth to a boil over high heat. Stir in the orzo. Cover

partially and cook until the orzo is tender but still firm to the bite,

stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Drain the orzo through a

strainer. Transfer the orzo to a large wide bowl and toss until the

orzo cools slightly. Set aside to cool completely.

Toss the orzo with the beans, tomatoes, onion, basil, mint, and

enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt

and pepper, and serve at room temperature.
