Orzo Salad

I stole this recipe from a friends blog (Thanks Em), because it looked and sounded really good. I love salads, so here is one I will have to try.
ORZO SALAD
1 lb. orzo cooked and drained
1/2 c. spinach, julienned. *if you take the spinach leaves and trim the ends and stack them on top of each other you can roll them into a little log and cut it and you have little spinach confetti pieces.*
3 medium sized tomatoes, diced
one small onion, diced finely
1 tablespoon of capers
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese ( I used the powdered kind but it actually called for grated)
1 small can of sliced olives
1 clove of garlic minced1 c. light Italian salad dressing
season with salt and pepper.
- Ok, first you cook the pasta and drain it. Add the spinach, tomatoes, onion, capers, olives, and garlic. Mix in the dressing and then add the cheese last. Refrigerate till ready.
