CONFETTI ORZO SALAD

Confetti Orzo Salad image

This is a dish that is always a hit anywhere I take it. I always serve it cold. I believe it's from the 365 pasta recipes cookbook but it has changed over time to the recipe I have here. If you don't have orzo on hand you can use any small shaped pasta instead. Enjoy! :)
