  3. Add the sliced chard, shredded carrot, sliced shallot, shredded chicken and dried cranberries to a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  5. When the orzo is finished cooking, drain and add it to the large bowl along with the other ingredients.
  6. Pour the dressing over everything and toss to combine. Add extra sea salt to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

This pasta salad is best served immediately, or chilled slightly, but will save in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. No need to reheat. It’s perfect rightout of the fridge!
