Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste


* Note 1: Available in Italian Markets.

Cook the pasta in lightly salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse

with cold water; drain well. Combine the drained pasta in a large bowl
along with the scallions, bell pepper and celery.
Mix the ingredients for the dressing until smooth. Add to the pasta
and vegetables and fold together until all is combined. Salt and pepper

Comments: Orzo is simply rice-shaped pasta. It works great in such a
salad because it will not get soggy even after a couple of days.
