I forgot too – I think it would help to add it to the list? I used filtered tap water instead but I added larger
portion pf oj than tap water (same total). It was very good!

In reply to Alice Dunsker. Hi Alice, this should last in the refrigerator for 3 days.

It was an excellent salad. As someone else suggested, i used a can of garbanzo beans for protein. I added it to the salad just before i put the salad in refrigerator.
Question: How far in advance can you make it?

I loved how easy this recipe was to make, and it was delicious too! I followed a suggestion and added a can of garbanzos to boost the protein. I did not have parsley, so I added dried parsley and followed a different suggestion to wilt some spinach when draining the pasta. I tasted a bite before I added the cheese, and it was still delicious. This is a keeper.

Good! Not a fan of olives so subbed a couple sun-dried tomatoes, used Jovial gluten-free orzo, and actually threw a few chopped orange wedges in too. I like the idea some reviewers mentioned about adding chopped spinach, so will try that next time. Thanks for another interesting variety of salad that mixes things up a bit.

This salad is phenomenal. I made it as written. It’s a great accompaniment to salmon en papillote.

This is the one dish my daughter asks me to make every time I visit her. It’s practically the only thing she will eat leftover! I’m also making it for my book club tonight. It’s an absolute winner, as is every recipe I have made from this cooking blog. Thank you so much!

In reply to Carol Rudkin. Hi Carol, you can just add a bit of regular water to make the dressing your desired consistency. The pasta water just adds some starchiness.
