Step 1

Cook the orzo in salted water until cooked but firm, usually under 1o minutes. Don't overcook and get mushy orzo; al dente pasta is a must in this recipe.

Step 2

When cooked, rinse the orzo with cold water in a colander and let drain completely for several minutes.

Step 3

Add all of the remaining ingredients and toss together until well combined.

Step 4

Refrigerate until ready to serve. This salad is generally best when prepared an hour or two in advance.
