This incredibly tasty salad couldn't be any easier to put together, and since it feeds a bunch, you won't have to double the recipe for potlucks or picnics. Chill it for about an hour to bring out all the fresh flavors. Donna Bardocz - Howell, Michigan

I found the lemon dressing to be a bit too tart. I would have preferred it to be a little more sweet.

The orzo in this salad was a bit too al dente for my liking. I would have preferred it to be cooked a little more.
