  1. Hands down, the best Greek pasta salad I've made or tasted yet!! (and I've made a lot of them). I had two picnics two days in a row, so I used 1 lb of orzo and doubled everything else. Then I realized I was out of capers, so I used extra kalamata olives instead. The first day was delicious, and the second day was delicious x10! I couldn't believe it could get even better! YUMMM!!!
     
  2. Loved it. It was simple to make. with ingredients on hand. I added diced cucumber for crunch, grated some carrot for color. Didn't have fresh basil so I used dried and italian seasoning for oregano. This passed the husband test and will definitely make again. Adding to my cookbook!
     
  3. We really liked this salad. I think it actually tasted better the next day. When I make this next time I think I will cut down just slightly on the basil and oregano.
     
  4. My family loved this! After a few days in the fridge, my Hubby added leftover chicken and that was not a good idea - too dry. We will be making this one again.
     
  5. This was fantastic. I added some garlic powder to the dressing just because we love garlic otherwise I wouldn't change a thing!
