This salad was very easy to make and very delicious. I used canned crab and it was still very good. The orzo cooked quickly and the dressing was simple to make. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will use less salt next time. Otherwise, the salad was very good. The crab was fresh and the orzo was cooked perfectly. The dressing was also very good.
