Orzo is one of my all-time favorite pastas, and I love how easy it is to incorporate veggies into a pasta salad! This easy salad recipe was inspired by the famous Jennifer Aniston Salad on TikTok – but with a few of my own personal touches 😉 I added some olives for some extra healthy fats, extra mint and parsley because of their detoxing effects, and of course, I added lemon juice! You simply can’t have enough lemon juice. Feel free to modify this recipe according to your taste, and have fun with it!
