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

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. My kids loved the orzo and the tuna, and they didn't even notice the vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of tuna salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The orzo and vegetables add a lot of texture and flavor, and the dressing is really light and fresh. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was easy to make and so delicious! I used canned tuna, but I think it would be even better with fresh tuna. The dressing is perfect - not too heavy, but still flavorful.
