Description
This orzo pasta salad with shrimp is a delightful and refreshing dish, perfect for a light lunch or a summer gathering. I've been making this salad for years, and it's always a hit! The combination of tender orzo pasta, succulent shrimp, and a zesty herb dressing is simply irresistible. It's quick to prepare, making it ideal for busy weeknights, and it can be made ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Feel free to add other vegetables like cucumber or bell peppers for extra crunch and color. This salad is a fantastic way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal!
