This simple salad, made with corn, fresh basil and orzo (small pasta that resembles rice) is just right for summer menus. Low in fat and full of flavor, it can be served as a side dish or turned into a main course by being tossing in cooked chicken, grilled salmon or any other cooked meat.
This is a great way to take advantage of the incredible piles of summer squash--zucchini, crooknecks, patty pans, what have you--that inevitably build up in the gardener's kitchen.
