Ingredients: 1 package (16 ounces) orzo pasta; 3/4 pound peeled and deveined cooked shrimp (31-40 per pound); 1 can (14 ounces) water-packed quartered artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained; 1 cup finely chopped green pepper; 1 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper; 3/4 cup finely chopped red onion; 1/2 cup pitted Greek olives; 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley; 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill; 3/4 cup Greek vinaigrette

This pretty crowd-pleaser always stands out on the buffet table. With plenty of shrimp, artichoke hearts, olives, peppers and a host of herbs, it's a tasty change of pace from pasta salads. I serve it with a from-scratch vinaigrette. &mdash;Ginger Johnson, Pottstown, Pennsylvania

Delightful !  I made this the other day, cut it down from 8 servings to somewhere around 3, which works well with a recipe like this.  One thing that I was wondering about is that the blurb from this recipe's creator, Ginger Johnson, mentions green olives, but the recipe ingredients list Greek olives, which are ripe... so I went with both !  The dressing I used was Farmer Boy's Restaurant Greek Dressing, an oil based selection.  Truly a good salad !  As a field editor who hosts at least ten major parties each year, I know I will be serving this one again soon.
