This versatile salad is one of my favorites. Any number of vegetables that you have on hand can be added to this - garbanzo beans are great in it too. Add shrimp or grilled chicken for a main dish entree. Orzo is a type of pasta that is shaped like rice and can be used so many ways that I always keep a package in my pantry. It's great in minestrone, any type of Mediterrean/Italian Salad, or as a replacement in rice dishes such as risotto. Experiment with it and see what you can create!

2 lbs. Orzo, cooked al dente

1 pepper, chopped
1 c. chopped sun dried tomatoes

Combine all ingredients well and adjust seasonings. Better if made a day or two in advance.
