This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would be better with less salt.

This salad was delicious! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The orzo was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the orzo was a bit overcooked. I probably wouldn't make this again.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I usually add a little bit of feta cheese to it for extra flavor.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more seasoning, maybe some salt and pepper. The orzo was also a bit overcooked for my liking.
