SPINACH-ORZO SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS

Spinach-Orzo Salad with Chickpeas image

The first version of this salad was an experiment in mixing together some random ingredients I had on hand. It was a success, and several people at the party asked for the recipe...which meant I had to re-create it! It's healthy, delicious and perfect for warm-weather days. -Glen White, Kissimmee, Florida
