TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY
Dice the veggies very, very finely. Think baby bites – you won’t get it as small as the orzo but, you want to aim for uniformity.
Do not overcook the orzo – it needs to be al dente to hold up against the other ingredients.
You can absolutely use whole wheat gluten-free orzo (try DeLallo – they have both), just cook to their specifications to al dente.
Though you can gobble this up immediately, I highly recommend letting it marinate at least 2-3 hours after tossing all your ingredients together.
Orzo Salad is the perfect picnic potluck dish – there’s no dairy, so it holds up to outside temps!
