Here is how you make Orzo Pasta Salad:

Serviing: 8 - 6oz servings...easily!Using a 3 litre ( qt ) saucepan, please bring your 5 c of vegetabe stock to a boil & pour in your 450gr ( 1 Lb ) of Orzo Pasta. Reduce heat to med-low after only 2 min & let run...staying covered. Depending on doneness required..let remain on heat up to, but not exceeding 13 additional minutes. ( You'll end up with Mush instead of a salad base ) Orzo should absorb 100% of all liquid. While still hot, stir thru the Fresh ground black pepper, Zesty Italian Dressing mixture & the finely diced scallions.Allow to cool for 10 minutes & in that time you'll get all of the other veg diced into size. Add to Orzo Pasta in a large serving dish, mixing through completely. Sprinkle with the 1 tbsp of paprika ( I cheat & use a salt shaker expressly earmarked for this purpose ). I serve this up with roasted meat or poultry & a chunky potato & green apple salad,dark rye bread & strong coffee.
