In my all-purpose salad, you can change up the pasta, nuts and cheese. If you have tomatoes, leftover turkey or a fresh lemon to squeeze, go for it. —Donna Bardocz, Howell, Michigan
Double-Duty Chicken & Feta Spinach Salad Recipe photo by Taste of Home
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil or 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Directions
Cook orzo according to package directions for al dente. Drain orzo; rinse with cold water and drain well.
In a large bowl, combine spinach, orzo, chicken, cheese, almonds and onion. In a small bowl, whisk remaining ingredients until blended; add to salad and toss gently to combine.
Editor's Note
To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Very tasty! Made just as described, but warmed up the leftover shredded chicken from the other recipe a bit so it was close to same temp as the orzo. Would definitely make again.
