I think orzo is a great base for salads. It's the kind of deal where if you have a bunch of things in your fridge you want to use up, you can toss them with orzo and it's a safe bet you'll end up with a nice salad. I had some extra Persian cucumbers, some feta cheese and a bell pepper, so I chopped up the veggies and tossed it with this. I made a mayonnaise based dressing, but you could make a more....healthy dressing. This salad would go really well with some grilled chicken, or turkey meatloaf which is what I'm doing.
