An orzo salad is so yummy. Cook your orzo, add cucumber, cherry tomatoes cut in half, red onion, capsicums and pesto. Sundried tomatoes added to this is also really good. never lasts long when I make this.

My favourite pasta salad comes from Annabel Langbein's fabulous book: Great Food for Busy Lives: Boil 500g pasta shapes.While pasta is cooking, make dressing by pureeing together: 1/2 cup light salad oil, 2tbsp white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 2tbls basil pesto, 2 cloves garlic, 1tsp Dijon mustard, 1tsp salt and black pepper. Drain cooked pasta, place in bowl and add dressing. Cool.Mix in 2 sliced spring onions, 2 stalks finely sliced celery, 2 diced peppers, red is nice.Add 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts if you wish.Enjoy.

It is the best. I forgot to say that baby spinach leaves are nice in it as well.
