  1. I love orzo but all of the salads recipes I have use cheese and I wanted one without. This one was excellent, I really liked the black beans with the orzo. I like keeping something in the frig for eating on the run and this was great for that, it kept well and was a great snack for between errands.
     
  2. This is an excellant salad. My husband has diabetes and I'm always looking for healthy foods for a variety in his diet. This has excellant flavor with the Cilantro in it along nice texture variety with Orzo, tomatoes etc. I wouldn't make any changes to the recipe as it is excellant as is.
     
  3. This was just okay for me, but I left out the olives, since we don't like them. The texture was perfect though.
     
  4. I love orzo and I love black beans but did not like this dish. I found that there was way too much cumin in it. The only thing I was able to taste was the cumin.
     
  5. This was pretty good, just seemed a little bland. The husband didn't like it and the kids were iffy with it too. So, to get them to eat it up I added melted cheese and salsa which gave it more flavor.

  1. Simply delicious. The only thing I changed was using salsa instead of tomatoes b/c I didn't have any on hand. It came out perfect, but slightly spicy, which I LOVE!! I had this as a side dish, but used the leftovers in a wrap with fresh spinach and chicken for lunch the next day. YUM!
