    We thought this was fine. If we make it again, we'll probably omit the celery.

    Potluck Orzo Pasta Salad, I made this for a work potluck- and was asked repeatedly for the recipe, so I put it up here I didn’t take home very much of it! The sesame oil and pine nuts are a bit expensive, but I think they are what makes the recipe It’s very easy and fairly quick to prepare , We thought this was fine If we make it again, we’ll probably omit the celery , Really tasty I like the orzo pasta because it’s not too pasta-y I didn’t have bell peppers so used some shredded carrots, spinach, and tomato It was very nice, but I think I would use less oil next time; it was a little greasy
