Gratitude can transform common days into Thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunity into blessings.
– William Arthur Ward
It`s the pumpkin season! And here is another exciting pumpkin spiced idea from us. The orzo salad is a perfect meal for Halloween and Thanksgiving, but not only! Check the tips below, to find out how to transform this dish into a vegetarian one. We hope you`ll enjoy!

Some tips from me:
– This salad could be served as a starter, or main course, as well as an attractive bowl food option for your party.
– ***Parmesan cheese is NOT vegetarian, however, you can replace it with halloumi or tofu cubes.
– For best results, serve the salad chilled.
