Super easy, super delicious. I made this one time and took it to work for lunch. I left with an empty bowl and tons of complaints. Even my grand kids love it.
A Definite Crowd Pleaser!

This is a wonderfully light and satisfying salad. The dressing, although mild, is fine the way it is but you may wish to alter it according to your likes and dislikes. I used fresh (blanched) asparagus instead of snap peas. I'm anxious to try this recipe using shrimp with maybe a lemon vinegrette. Yum!
WOW!

I cannot understand all the 4 and 5 star ratings for this recipe. We all thought this was extremely bland and boring and this is after I tried to doctor it up. This recipe is going in the trash

This was very yummy I only used 1/4 cup oil and it was more than enough, I also added double the other liquids in the recipe, hoisin and soy, it was perfect!

I added a sprinkle of dry ginger,a little black pepper and a dash of sesame seed oil to this recipe..it gave it a little more flavor but it is also very good just as the recipe reads! you can even omit the chicken and just have as a side dish.Cathy from Binghamton, NY
Fabulous!

This is such a fabulous salad. I would use fresh sugar snap peas the next time. I stir-fried chicken tenders with Montreal Steak Seasoning for a little more flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

I saw this episode of Paula's anniversary party and liked the way the salad looked. I made the salad and found that it was also easy to pack into a 1 cup container and carry to work in my lunch box. It can be adjusted for smaller amounts and gives a nice change of pace for your everyday lunch fare.

The ingredients make a fresh, light salad. I used fresh sugar snap peas without cooking them. The salad is good at room temperature - it had more flavor at room temp than when cold. The dressing leaves something to be desired - I added two extra (heaping) teaspoons of hoisin, one tablespoon of honey and a few squirts of srichacha. Probably could have gone heavier on srichacha. I also tossed a bit of salt into the orzo mixture. Agree with others that extra dressing would be helpful. I don't usually add all the oil/dressing the celebrity chefs seem to like, but this one needs it (although if you double it, I wouldn't double the oil). I would say this is a nice, but not highly flavorful salad. I do like that it isn't mayonnaise-based; it's decent, but I would not make it when entertaining.

I could not find orzo anywhere, so I just used rice and a bit more dressing because the rice absorbed more and it was wonderful!!

This recipe has been so great for all the get togethers I've been too. Every time someone always asks me for the recipe. This recipe is very versitile. I always use fresh snap peas and multi color peppers. Taste the dressing before you pour it over the orzo you may have to add some extra asian flavors. This recipe is better chilled and just as good the next day
WOW!

Great recipe. I agree with the other reviewers that it could used a little more dressing than what the recipe makes. I added dried cranberries and served it cold with a crusty dipping bread.

I CAN'T THINK OF A SALAD THAT I HAVE LIKED MORE IN YEARS. I ACCIDENTLY OVER COOKED THE ORZO AND HAD TO MAKE IT WITH TINY SEA SHELLS. AND THE LAST TIME WITH TINY BOW TIES. I GOT RAVE REVIEWS FROM ALL THE NEIGHBORS AND EVERYONE AT PHY. THERAPY. I HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER BATCH OF SAUCE THE NEXT DAY AS IT HAD DRIED OUT A LITTLE. BUT IT IS THE BEST.

User: JEAN from Phoenix, AZ User Rating:
This is a keeper. I used half the amount of orzo and probably a little more chicken. This makes it more of a meal than a side dish. The second time I also added 1/2 a 12 oz pkg of frozed shelled Edamame Soybeans - great addition. Someone found it a little bland - I would have just added more Hoisin and Soy sauce to taste. Great salad for bar-b-ques - no mayo spoilage to worry about.
Don't mess with the recipe . . .

After reading the reviews I decided to try the sesame oil and hot chili oil as one reviewer suggested - big mistake - threw that batch out. Started over and followed Paula's recipe exactly and it was wonderful!! I cut the recipe in half and it made plenty.

This was very easy to make. It tastes wonderful! I grilled my red peppers. I also used marinated chicken which added to the flavor. I've made this up head for the next few days, when the temps. here will be in the high 90's! Delicious, cool and yummy! Thanks for a great recipe!

Made a few changes!

User: LINDA T. from Rockport, TX User Rating:
I served this cold for a wedding shower, and everyone loved it. However, I made a few changes after reading some of the reviews. -I used both fresh sugar snap peas and fresh snow peas. -I doubled the green onions. -I added two cloves of minced garlic. -I added spicy stir fry sauce along with the hoisin sauce in equal amounts. -I doubled the dressing recipe and added 1 tablespoon each of sesame oil and chili oil. -I substituted unsalted peanuts for the almonds. -Right before serving I added freshly chopped cilantro. I think that these few changes made a big difference in the dish since Texans tend to eat spicy foods. You could even add a finely chopped jalape?o to the dish for a little more heat. I will definitely make it again.
Mandarin Oranges, too.

How can you rate a recipe 3 stars when you haven't even tried it...or 2 stars and say it was fantastic. Something is really wrong with this. Now I tried it and it makes a lot of food but it keeps and is better the second day.

I really liked this salad. I increased the dressing amount (made one and a half of the dressing recipe) and I added about a tablespoon of Sesame Oil to it. It was just right. Next time I make it, I will leave out the almonds. They just didn't seem to fit and the water chesnuts added plenty of crunch. Please be aware that this recipe makes A LOT of salad. You may want to cut it in half. It was a big hit with my guests.

This dish was really interesting because the dressing wasn't heavy, but still flavorful. Next time, I will only make a half batch because it's too much at one time.
Very Pretty Dish

User: Susan from Chandler, AZ User Rating:
This is a good dish for a potluck for the following reasons: It is very pretty. It doesn't contain mayonaisse & can travel without quickly spoiling. It isn't an overpowering flavor & will appeal to many. It makes a big bowl. I would put in more onions next time. I like more flavor. I also found that when I let it sit overnight, I needed to toss another serving of the oil dressing because the salad had become too dry. It worked out nicely.

I really like Paula and thought this recipe looked good. I followed the recipe to a T - it was easy to make and it wasn't terrible... HOWEVER, it wasn't "yummy" by any stretch. It was just barely "okay" - and I am the farthest thing from a picky eater. I will never make this again.

I just finished making this salad about 30 minutes ago, so it's still cooling, but boy was it delicious already!! I added about 2 tsp of sesame oil to the dressing,and made a bit more dressing than the recipe called for. I think it needed the sesame oil. Next time I make this, I'll cool the orzo and the chicken before I mix it all together. Definitely a keeper!! Thanks, Paula!
