This orzo salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I thought this salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste.

The orzo salad was delicious, but I would recommend using less oil in the dressing. It was a bit too oily for my taste.
