    Directions

    1. Mix the blue cheese salad dressing with the lemon zest and lemon juice; hold aside.

    3. Bring 4 c. of salted water to a boil, add in the orzo and cook to al dente (about 8 to 10 min). Cold by running under cool water. Drain well and set aside.
    4. Flake the cooled cod fillets. Place cod flakes, cucumber slices and orzo in a mixing bowl. Add in the dressing mix and green onion slices; mix well. Taste, adding salt and pepper as necessary.
    5. Place 2 lettuce leaves each on 4 chilled plates. Divide the salad among the 4 plates. Garnish with 1 tsp. of red bell pepper and 1 lemon wedge; serve.
    6. This recipe yields 4 servings.
