Expert Tips
For that perfect al dente bite, follow the box instructions and be sure not to overcook.
Feel free to add any additional vegetables or greens, like an arugula salad mix, chickpeas, etc.
For a low-carb salad, you could swap the pasta for cauliflower rice if desired.
If you are not gluten-free, feel free to use traditional orzo.
Serving Tips
I served this with my Garlic Butter Dill Shrimp, and it was one of the best dinners I've had in a LONG time!
Highly recommend serving it with chicken, shrimp, or any other protein!
You can also serve it on its own as a lovely vegetarian meal or side dish.
Storage Tips
The homemade Mediterranean dressing can be made beforehand, and you can toss it all together when you're ready to serve.
This pasta salad also holds up really well in the fridge! Sometimes gluten-free pasta can get hard when it sits in the fridge, but not this orzo. We enjoyed it for 3 days after I made it!
Leftover pasta salad will stay good in the fridge for up to 4 days. Store in an airtight container.
