This recipe is from [all(recipes.com](http://all(recipes.com/recipe/spinach-and-orzo-salad/). When Art and I were in Williamsburg, we had a great orzo and spinach salad as a side dish with our Carrot Tree Kitchens lunch. I was thinking about it while meal planning and found this recipe. While it’s not the same as the CTK recipe, I’m glad I tried it since it was very delicious in its own right! It’s a very simple dish that can be served at any temperature. I liked mine cool or cold, but Lance enjoyed his nuked with other leftovers the following day.
