SPINACH-ORZO SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS

Spinach-Orzo Salad with Chickpeas image

The first version of this salad was an experiment in mixing together some random ingredients I had on hand. It was a success, and several people at the party asked for the recipe...which meant I had to re-create it! It's healthy, delicious and perfect for warm-weather days. -Glen White, Kissimmee, Florida

ORZO AND SPINACH SALAD

Orzo and Spinach Salad image

The dressing is what makes this orzo salad recipe special. If you taste it on its own, it seems strong and tangy. But once it's combined with the orzo and other ingredients, magic happens. From the spicy taste of cumin to the minty taste of thyme, you can taste each spice. This salad is cool and full of Mediterranean flavors....
