Love this, here are my suggestions, I used Girard's Light Champagne Dressing (YUM) and I freeze the feta block while cooking the pasta and prepping the veggies, then when I have cooled the orzo and am ready to add the rest, I finely grate the feta. That way I get it past those who think they don't like Feta or maybe just find it to bold in lumps. Anyway, LOVE IT!

    After the first bite of this salad, I was completely hooked! The flavors blend perfectly together, and it just gets better the longer it sits in the fridge! I left out the feta to keep the salad lower fat, but I used Girard's Greek Feta Vinaigrette dressing and that added some of the flavor back in. Served with Garlicky Chicken or Pork Souvlaki with great results! I will absolutely be making this again over the summer. Thanks so much for this wonderful idea!

    Crabby I just love your recipes. I make this several times a year. I Originally gave you 4 stars but I discovered that the choice of dressing makes a big difference. Do not waist your time on Kraft.. it is too oily. Olimpia Dukacus is great, if you can't find it, look for a better priced vinigarette.

    This is a very good cold salad. The real secret I think is to make it a day ahead of time. It was really better the next day after the flavors had a chance to meld
