This is a sponsored post on behalf of Reese Specialty Foods®. Thank you for inspiring this delicious Mediterranean Orzo Salad with Homemade Citrus Vinaigrette! This post contains affiliate links and/or images. Of course, as always, all opinions are 100% mine. When you think of healthy foods, what comes to mind? I used to think of rice cakes and carrot sticks. Pretty boring, right? I have found this does not have to be the case! You need to experiment with recipes and products. I bet you can create a quite tasty and healthy meal!
Salads are a mainstay in our home. This is especially true in the summer. We have a small house, so when we use the oven, it can heat up the entire house. We have begun eating a more plant based diet. This means lots of fruits and veggies are the stars of many recipes. One of my favorite salads is a Greek Salad. I love all the flavors when blended together.

Now that you have seen a preview, let’s jump into the details of the recipe!
Recently, I created a Mediterranean Orzo Salad with Homemade Citrus Vinaigrette recipe. It uses my basic Greek salad recipe with a few unexpected additions! We love orzo, so that small pasta was a fun ingredient to add. We also use avocados, which are a favorite of my husband.
The addition of my Reese® Hearts of Palm and Marinated Artichoke Hearts amp up the flavor in this recipe! Have you tried Hearts of Palm? They are a vegetable which comes from the inner core of a palm tree. How exotic! They are a healthy choice for any dish. They are low in cholesterol, are Non-GMO, rich in potassium and contains Vitamin C. See?! Healthy!
They are perfect for your casseroles, stir-fry, pizza or salad. They add a nice crunch to my Mediterranean Orzo Salad with Homemade Citrus Vinaigrette. Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, why not add those Heart of Palm from Reese® to your favorite recipes?!
Have you heard of Reese Specialty Foods®? Oh boy are their products amazing! Their versatile products comes from all over the globe! So, instead of you traveling to an exotic country for their food, Reese® brings those flavors to you!
I enjoy experimenting with different flavors when I cook. The delicious products from Reese® offers me convenience and affordability. It allows me to really enjoy the experience of making a delicious meal for my family!
And the Marinated Artichoke Hearts from Reese® melt in your mouth! So yummy! They go well in that game-day dip, in your favorite sandwich or an antipasto dish. I could eat them straight out of the jar. Yes, they are that delicious!
I typically add them to my vegetarian French bread pizza. But they are so darn good in my Mediterranean Orzo Salad with Homemade Citrus Vinaigrette! You can find Reese products at grocery and retail stores around the U.S. Find the location nearest you!

This looks delicious. I’m going out right now to get the ingredients. I love greek salad. Just looking at the picture is making me hungry.
I like Reese products. Have some of their artichoke hearts in my pantry right now.
I made this with a few changes for our taste. It was so good and refreshing. Thank you for the recipe.
Wow this sure looks good, and I would love to try it with the hearts of palm and artichoke hearts. I haven’t made orzo in ages, this is the perfect opportunity!
My usual summer salad go tos are potato salad and macaroni salad. Both heavy with mayo. This looks like a much better choice. It’s in the 90’s here today and a cool salad looks like just the right thing.
I think I’ve had a version of this salad before but it was bought at a deli. The freshly made salad looks so much more appetizing. I’m going to keep this recipe in mind next time I’m at the grocery.
I made this and the family liked it. I loved it. I am more of a vegetable person than they are. Thank you for giving me another dish to make.
My sister made this because I did. Her family loved it too. You have made converts of us.
