I'm not a big fan of lemon-based dressings, but this one is really good. It's not too tart and it really complements the flavors of the other ingredients.

I'm not usually a fan of orzo, but this salad changed my mind. The lemon dressing really brings out the flavor of the pasta and the vegetables.

This salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. I especially loved the tangy lemon dressing and the crunch of the orzo.
