BELLEPEPPER'S ORZO AND WILD RICE SALAD



Bellepepper's Orzo and Wild Rice Salad image

I enjoyed this salad at a well-known restaurant and when they wouldn't divulge the recipe, I created my own. Although a bit time consuming, everything can be prepared at least a day ahead, covered and refrigerated. I took this salad to the 2011 AR Buckeye Bash and am posting for those who requested the recipe. This salad may be served cold or at room temperature.

COLD WILD RICE & ORZO SALAD



Cold Wild Rice & Orzo Salad image

Had a similar salad at a restaurant, and reconstructed from memory. You may need or want more salad dressing and don't be afraid to add extra almonds for more crunch! You can play around with the ingredient quantities as well.
