BELLEPEPPER'S ORZO AND WILD RICE SALAD
I enjoyed this salad at a well-known restaurant and when they wouldn't divulge the recipe, I created my own. Although a bit time consuming, everything can be prepared at least a day ahead, covered and refrigerated. I took this salad to the 2011 AR Buckeye Bash and am posting for those who requested the recipe. This salad may be served cold or at room temperature.

MEDITERRANEAN ORZO SALAD
This light and refreshing cold pasta salad is loaded with the flavors of the Mediterranean, and pairs well with grilled proteins, such as fish, pork, chicken or steak. If you make this in advance, reserve a bit of the dressing to add right before serving, as the pasta has a tendency to soak up the dressing as it sits over time.

COLD WILD RICE & ORZO SALAD
Had a similar salad at a restaurant, and reconstructed from memory. You may need or want more salad dressing and don't be afraid to add extra almonds for more crunch! You can play around with the ingredient quantities as well.

- Prepare the salad: In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook the wild rice until tender to the bite, but neither splayed nor mushy, about 35 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook the lentils until tender, about 25 minutes. In a third saucepan of boiling water (the person stuck with washing the pots will be ticked off, but the salad is worth the three pots) cook the orzo just until tender, about 5 minutes. Thoroughly drain the rice, lentils and orzo and combine with currants and onion in a large bowl.
- Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Pour over the rice mixture and toss gently. Let cool, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. (Make-ahead: refrigerate for up to a day.)
