Orzo SaladChris Gentile

Orzo is the Italian word for barley, and the slender, grain-shape of orzo pasta makes for a no-fuss, neatly consumed salad, particularly if you are balancing a plate while perched on the edge of a sofa or standing around the TV watching the Super Bowl. Although the salad makes for a great accompaniment to the Stuffed Sliders Your Way, your vegetarian friends will thank you for providing them with an option they will really enjoy as their main dish.

Cooks' Note:

•Orzo salad can be made 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature. Leftovers can be chilled, but for entertaining purposes, the salad is at its best when made fresh and not refrigerated.
