My family loved this! The only modification we did was to use elbow macaroni instead of orzo. The flavors were delicious and it was very light and refreshing. The artichokes are a MUST- they are what really make this special. Great!

This was so good. I made my own changes, mostly to the dressing. I added lemon juice, fresh basil, and red wine vinegar. Fresh garlic would be nie too. I enjoyed this at room temperature.

I made this for a family cook-out and it was a hit! I made a couple of alterations. I used cherry tomatoes that I cut in half and I also used the 'Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressing' recipe instead of the artichoke marinade. I will continue to make this again & again!

Loved this as a nice side dish. I made a balsamic vinigrette for it which worked nicely to give it a very bold flavour.

Amazing. I took it to a party and the entire bowl was gone in 5 minutes. It was best on Day 3, so it is a really great dish if you want to make something ahead of time. Next time, I will use the whole package of orzo with the same quantities of the other ingredients to make a bigger batch. Thank you!

Delicious! Be sure to use Kalamata olives for a real Greek flavor. The recipe is wonderful "as is," but I like to double the amount of tomato and cucumber and I just use half a red onion. I've tried it with a bit of commercial Greek Salad Dressing and that is very tasty, too. My family loves this.

Very, very good. The guests loved it. You can even use some greek dressing instead of the rest of the artichoke marinade. A keeper for sure.

I made it exactly as the recipe said, except maybe just a little bit less red onion. I didn't do as the other responders did and add balsamic vinegar or anything. I wanted to try it as posted first. I don't think I'll ever change it. This is a very fresh, light, yummy and beautiful salad!

This is oh so good. The blend of flavors is wonderful. Make it ahead of time and add a little more dressing (if needed) right before serving. The orzo is a wonderful change from the usual pasta. Everyone loved it.

I've made this so many times with different variations. I use whatever veggies I have on hand, such as tomato, broccoli, cucumber, zucchini, asparagus, but I feel red onion and artichoke have to always be used. I usually add garlic powder and sometimes use white pepper instead of lemon pepper, cilantro or mint instead of parsley, sometimes I add a bit of olive oil to make it a little smoother. But this recipe can be easily modified to suit anyone's pickiness! Delicious!

Very good, but it does make a lot. I had three very hungry men, and still had lots left. Used some italian dressing with lemon zest instead of the lemon juice etc... good make ahead side dish for a grilled mediterranean meal.

This is my #2 all time fave from this site, second only to the Brown Sugar Meatloaf. As are many others, I am guilty to modifications based on what I have in the house, as well as taste preferences. I am into easy prep and finding shortcuts, so I used an English cucumber and didn't remove the seeds, and the tomatos were those cute baby grape tomatoes, cut in half (used approx 20); no seed removal there also. Thanks to the advice of other reviewers here, I purchased bottled Greek dressing, and tossed in 1/2 cup. On the first try I only used 1/4 red onion, but I will upgrade that next time to 1/2. I would also double the lemon pepper, and add more salt (I use sea salt) and a liberal dose of freshly ground black pepper. Definitely more lemon... I will juice a full lemon next time...lemon is a leading flavor in authentic Greek cuisine, and 1 T is WAY too short. Also tossed in some sliced Greek pepperoncini (found in the condiment aisle near the olives), approx 1/4 cup. This is FABULOUS, and gets even better overnight. It is also very pretty and colorful when served in a glass bowl. Again, a keeper. Husband, kids, and picky grandkids ALL loved it. Thanks to the original submitter of this recipe. LoveLoveLove this!!!!!!

Yummy.....I only had 1/2c. orzo left, so I scaled down the recipe to taste. I loved it....very fresh and tasty. Served with Greek chicken burgers which have, the red onion,garlic, spinach, oregano, feta, etc. I grilled those and served with this salad and a tossed salad. Will make again, I omitted the olives since I had none on hand. I will make again, and loved the marinated artichokes with their liquid as part of the dressing!

We love this salad! The only changes I make are to add more chopped tomato and cucumber, 'cause we like our veggies, and to add a splash of lemon juice to stretch the artichoke marinade and give it a bit of extra zip. I usually serve this with a Greek-style marinated chicken, but tried it last week with Pork Chop and Feta Skillet for a change of pace. Yummy!

Another winner though I agree with many of you who said it needed salad dressing. I omitted the liquid from the can of artichokes and used a light Ceaser dressing which gave it plenty of zip. I also marinaded the artichoke hearts in the dressing while I assembled the rest of the salad and added them along with the the dressing.

Very delicious side for a BBQ I just had. I used the tri-color orzo which gave such a wonderful added flavor and I left out the olives for taste preference. I used red, orange, and green peppers to add more color. I made the night before the party and just before serving I skipped adding in the artichoke marinade and added instead a greek vinagrette dressing with a splash of balsamic. Very good and the little that was left over still tasted good a few days later. Will make again.

DELICIOUS! This made a super easy weeknight dinner with the addition of some shrimp. I followed prior comments about adding red wine vinegar. I also added all of the olive marinade (I used napa valley wine marinated olives--fantastic.) Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
