2. Make the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, capers, lemon or lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Combine: Add the cooked orzo to the bowl and toss until coated in the dressing.
4. Add Veggies & Herbs: Mix in sliced cucumbers, green onions, cherry tomatoes, and parsley. Toss gently until everything is evenly combined.
5. Plate & Serve: Arrange leafy greens on a serving dish, spoon the orzo salad mixture on top, and enjoy fresh!
