Summer Orzo Salad
Literally, one of the best pasta salads I have ever had!!!! It's light and fresh. The longer it sits, the better, so make it a day ahead! Taken from: http://ourshareoftheharvest.com/2011/06/13/summer-orzo-salad/
Summer Orzo Salad

1 small red onion, diced
5 jarred pepperoncini peppers, minced
