I really did a number on this one.
1) I used whole wheat rotini instead of orzo.
2) I used goat cheese instead of feta.
3) I served it hot instead of cold.
And you know what? I loved it. So there. Take THAT orzo salad!

I thought this was a REALLY good salad and I got so many compliments on it. The only thing I changed was I used gargonzola instead of feta cheese. I was just thinking it out in my head and thought maybe the feta and balsamic vin. would be too tart together. So, I know Garg. is a strong cheese too....so I switched. Ok, long post for one little salad. Enjoy!
I made this, I wasn't my Husband and I favorite dish but definatly fun to try something different.
This is a staple in our house....use white balsamic instead and it will have a much nicer color. Also, it's WAY better the second day. It's the best.
