LIGHT GREEK ORZO SALAD
This is my adaptation of several orzo salad recipes. It's a wonderful summer side dish to accompany grilled foods. I let it chill for only 1 hour but I bet the flavors will meld even better given longer chilling time.

- In a mixing bowl combine the chopped herbs, cucumber, onion and garlic saute, olives, roasted red pepper, salt and pepper and stir well.

- Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, a few hours if time permits.
- Enjoy!
