I think you will like this recipe for orzo and chicken salad. This was my very own creating and it turned out so well, that the family asked me to keep it around. Bonus, this was a crazy easy recipe to make. I have since given it a tweak to match my gluten-free cooking needs. When weather is warmer, this is a great salad to make. You can make it for potlucks and family dinners. It is something that you can make in advance and serve when the weather is too hot outside to cook.
