This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less feta cheese next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover orzo. It's also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The fennel and green beans add a nice crunch and the dill pesto is a delicious dressing. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some additional vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of fennel, but this salad was still really good. The green beans and orzo were cooked perfectly and the pesto was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I might use less fennel next time.

This salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit too subtle for my taste and the pesto was a bit too oily. I think I'll stick to my regular salad recipe.

This orzo salad is a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. The fennel adds a subtle anise note, while the green beans provide a crisp crunch. The dill pesto is the perfect finishing touch, adding a burst of freshness and herbaceousness. I high
