     Thanks for sharing this recipe! :-)

    I think I would also substitute low fat plain yogurt to mayo, and make my own dressing with olive oil and vinegar. That will add some fat but good fat... :-)

     I used greek yogurt for the mayo and added olives, eggplant, and artichokes. I've added athenos reduced fat feta before and it's yummy too. Also, once I broiled some whitting and then threw that in as well. Very yummy! Definitely a good starting point for recipes. - 9/26/08

     I subbed quinoa instead of orzo for a gluten free route...added red onion, minced garlic, and grated parmesan...yum. The feta would be good too. - 9/26/08

     Sounds delicious! I think I might switch yogart for the mayo and add feta cheese, make it more Greek style. Yummm - 9/26/08

     I substitute Konjac noodles orzo to reduce the carb count to just the carbs in the veggies and raise the fiber to astronomical! - 9/26/08

     Great recipe. My kids don't generally go for regular pasta salad, but they love orzo salad. I make mine kind of greek salad style, with cucumber, red onion, halved cherry tomatoes and feta cheese. - 9/26/08

     This is a great recipe. Easy to make and an substitute the ingredients to make different combinations such as adding chicken to it. Substituting the italian dressing to other great low cal dressings. - 9/26/08
  • TAZZIE5
     This is a divine quickie meal when company drops in unexpectedly. We add a can of tuna to it. Can be served warm if you leave out the mayo. Cold left overs are good too. - 9/26/08
  • CINDYLOOHOO589
     This was a wonderful salad. I didn't realize until I was getting ready to put the dressing on that I was out of Italian , so I substituted dry ranch dressing mix and my family loved it. I will definately make it again! - 6/5/08
