Wow, this was wonderful! Perfect salad for a hot summer day. I didn't (and wouldn't) change a thing about this, all the flavors blend together perfectly! I made a 1/2 recipe of this as it's just for me, and I will probably get 6 servings out of it, so I am set for lunch for the week. Thanks Lori for a keeper :) Made for Holiday tag.

Exceptional. Really truly. One of those recipes that will become a highlight of 2009, in the top 10 faves. I didn't change one thing. I wish I could say something prolific, but all you need to know is that this recipe is prolific all on it's own two feet. Oh, for the love of Orzo. Made for *Everyday is a Holiday* Novembre 2009
