I think this recipe took about 20 minutes to prepare and our one year-old loved it. Variations - serve on romaine leaves or with chicken.

2 c. orzo (I buy in bulk)

2 avocados - diced

1 pint of grape tomatoes (cherry would also work)

1 T. lemon juice

1 shallot - thinly sliced and then chopped

2 cloves of garlic - minced

6 oz. goat or sheep cheese (I used half feta and half chevre - they were both in the refrigerator)

salt and pepper
