Directions
Orzo, Grape and Pistachio Salad,This was one of my favorite side dishes served at our wedding. I plan to make it a lot. Pistachios and grapes are such a surprise in pasta salad but we love it!,We were served something very similar by some French friends at a cocktail party probably 25-30 years ago. She used wild rice rather than orzo. I loved it and have been trying to figure out a dressing similar to hers on and off since then, this sounds close. Thanks!,I cut the grapes in half because I didn’t want big chunks of grapes.
