Lovely! This was such a treat tonight. I really loved ALL of the additions to the orzo. I as a bit worried about the vinegar, but it worked beautifully with the olive oil. My favorite additions were the capers and kalamatas. I can't wait to have this for lunch tomorrow! ~Made for Zee Zesties during the ZWT6~

Loved this salad! The only thing I did different was I toasted the pine nuts without adding any oil to them....I will make this again...plus it's good at room temp and cold.
