This Orzo Salad recipe is the ultimate crowd-pleaser—fresh, colorful, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The tarragon vinaigrette is my favorite. Serve it warm or cold.

Orzo Pasta Salad

orzo pasta ((454 grams))

cherry tomatoes ((300 grams), halved)

artichoke hearts ((397 grams), canned, drained and chopped)

Kalamata olives ((100 grams), pitted and chopped)

dried Craisins ((80 grams))

Tablespoons capers ((13 grams))

chicken ((420 grams), chopped)

olive oil ((215 grams))

tarragon vinegar* ((80 milliliters))

Tablespoons fresh tarragon ((4.5 grams), chopped)

½ Tablespoons fresh lemon juice ((22 milliliters))

½ Tablespoons dijon mustard ((23 grams))

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain well and set aside to cool.

Combine dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir well to combine. Pour dressing over cooled orzo pasta and stir to combine.

Add remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

This pasta is so refreshing! My son devoured it. We will definitely be having this again. One note, I did not add the craisins but did add feta. Just delicious!

I have never used capers or tarragon before. Although this wasn't my favorite dish, I do enjoy trying new flavors. The 6 serving amount was more like 8-10 servings for our family. Glad we tried it and extremely thankful for TBFS for making my life simpler.

I made this without the chicken (forgot to defrost it! 😂) 
It's a lot of interesting textures and flavors that work surprisingly well together! I'll be making this one again for sure!
