This salad was a bit bland for me. I think I'll add some more herbs next time.

I'm not sure about the ginger oil. It was a bit too strong for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed this salad. The flavors were well-balanced and the ginger wasn't overpowering.

This was a delicious and easy salad to make. I used quinoa instead of orzo and it turned out great.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The apricots and pistachios add a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.
