if you want to take this salad to a get together or something, you can always double the recipe to serve a larger group of people.

if you’re eating The Best Vegan Orzo Spring Salad as a side dish, my recipe should easily serve 6-8 people.

however, if you’re eating the salad for a meal, i would say maybe 4-5.

personally, i envision this salad as my food anthem all spring and summer long. it’s the perfect contribution to any potluck, cookout and more.

the bulk of the salad is comprised of cucumber, cherry tomatoes, vegan cheese, kalalmata olives, navy beans and orzo.

when it comes to the vegan cheese, i cut miyoko’s vegan mozzarella into tiny cubes. a great alternative would be violife feta, the flavors would be fabulous.
