An orzo pasta salad with chicken, feta cheese, olives, and grape tomatoes is served in pretty red bell pepper cups and garnished with leaves of fresh oregano. It won a blue ribbon at the fair!

This salad is shaken, not tossed. All the ingredients – arugula, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and an oil and vinegar dressing – are combined in a plastic bowl with a lid and given a few shakes. Topped with avocado slices, it is very presentable for guests.
