Recipe Description
Pasta salads tend to soak up the dressing as they sit, if you prefer a salad that is not as wet tasting, reserve a little of the dressing to mix into the salad after it’s been chilled. This Italian Orzo Pasta Salad is full of gorgeous colors, textures, and flavor! It’s delicious as a side dish or on its own as a light lunch or snack.
