This salad is a great base recipe. I like to add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more complete meal.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much dressing.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It's not something I would go out of my way to make again.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

This salad is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try adding a bit less lemon juice next time.

I'm not a huge fan of orzo, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra tomatoes and cucumbers in the fridge, and this is a great way to use them up.
