A delicious salad that is healthful and fresh-tasting! The orzo and wild rice go nicely together, and the peppers are tasty. I used half the ground pepper, and the salad still had a nice bite to it. I also didn't chop the cranberries, but the salad didn't have big chunks of cranberries (Not that there's anything wrong with that!). This would be a good salad to make for Thanksgiving. Thanks, Susan, for another first class recipe!
