Steps:
- For the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- For the salad: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until soft and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Add the onions to the dressing and stir to coat.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain it well and, while it is still warm, add to the bowl of dressed onions. Stir in the fennel and dried cranberries and allow to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Add the arugula and mozzarella and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cook's Note: If serving the next day, a drizzle of olive oil will help to bring this salad back to life.

CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
This recipe evolved from a need to use the bumper crops of delicious cherry tomatoes we grow. It's one of my favorite cherry tomato recipes, especially at cookouts. -Sally Sibley, St. Augustine, Florida

Steps:
- Cook the orzo according to package directions. I strongly suggest adding a couple teaspoons of salt or so to the water for extra flavor.
- Throw the orzo into a large bowl with the tomatoes, onion, drained garbanzo beans, basil, and mint.
- In a small bowl, make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and olive oil.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the orzo, veggies, and herbs, and toss gently until well incorporated.
- Season to taste with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Great when served at room temperature, but also refreshing served chilled.
