    Not a big fan of this one. I found the overall taste of the salad to be too bitter. I might have used too much lemon juice.

    This salad is fantastic! The herbs provide a nice brightness. Next time I'll experiment with adding some chickpeas for extra texture and protein.

    A really good and simple recipe. I added some Kalamata olives for extra flavor. The orzo held up well and didn't get mushy.

    Loved this recipe. The dressing was perfect. Next time, I'll try adding some cucumbers for a little more crunch.
