Vegan Orzo Salad

I just made a vegan "salad" out of what I could find in the refrigerator and cupboards, and it turned out great! I would have liked to find a whole-grain pasta, but like I said, I had to work with what I had. I also didn't take any pictures; my growling tummy won out.

Here you go ...

• Half a box of orzo
• Avocado, diced
• Roasted red peppers (from the jar), chopped
• Walnuts, chopped
• Cherry tomatoes
• Black beans, drained and rinsed

Vinaigrette:

• Olive oil
• White balsamic
• Salt
• Pepper
• Dried herbs

Cook the orzo to al dente, drain, and rinse in cold water until it's cool. Toss with the other ingredients and vinaigrette, and voila! Yummy, semi-healthy (albeit a bit fattening) vegan salad.
