A really simple, delicious salad that can be made with items I usually have on hand. I didn't have orzo so I substituted farfelline, another small pasta. I also added some diced cucumber. One thing I did differently is using 1/2 cup olive oil and 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar. I like a vinaigrette that coats everything evenly and I don't like a strong vinegar taste. Otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. This is something that my husband and I will definitely enjoy again!
