I loved this salad.I love orzo in salads it makes it taste so good. The flavors all blended so well together. I had used chicken breast. But have to confess I bought the cooked whole chicken in the grocery store. I also did cut the recipe down to feed 2-4. and it was still a lot. I had served my salad over a bed of arugula. I tossed the arugula with some of the dressing before putting on plate and topped with this colorful orzo salad. For the dressing I had just put all the ingredients in a mason jar and shook away. That was a perfect blend as well of flavors especially with the garlic. I will post a pic asap, it is in my camera but this is a borrowed computer and no clue if it takes my camera disk. Thanks so much for posting a great recipe Halcyon Eve. It was fantastic.
