Herb Vegetable Orzo Salad image

The chilled salad our Test Kitchen tossed together is an ideal warm-weather refresher. Golden corn, grape tomatoes and fresh basil bring the very best of summer to the table. Subtly salty olives add an interesting contrast to the other sun-sweetened veggies

The dressing is a bit too oily for my taste. I would use less olive oil next time.

I found the orzo to be a bit too al dente for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more herbs and spices to give it more flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of orzo, but this salad changed my mind. The orzo is cooked perfectly and absorbs all the delicious flavors of the dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of odds and ends in my fridge, and this is the perfect way to use them up.
