I had some gluten-free orzo on hand and was looking for a good salad....Giada rode to the rescue! Fresh and summery with tomatoes and basil, creamy and tangy with the feta and a little bite of green onion to snap up the flavor. Read more Wonderful summer side! When I told my daughter how good it was, she made it with couscous and had wonderful results, too! See less
