Preparation Steps
- Begin by filling a large pot with water, adding salt, and bring it to a boil. Cook the orzo for 7–9 minutes until tender yet al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat, husk the corn, and brush with avocado oil. Grill for 10–12 minutes until charred and tender. Allow to cool then slice kernels off into a bowl.
- Grill the white parts of the scallions for 1–2 minutes until marked. Heat avocado oil in a skillet and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute.
- In a blender, combine grilled garlic and scallions with lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, miso paste, and a splash of avocado oil. Blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine grilled corn, sliced scallions, artichoke hearts, edamame, oregano, arugula, and cooled orzo. Toss with the dressing.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to meld flavors. Optionally, sprinkle with vegan parmesan before serving.
