Pasta salads are very convenient because they're filling and delicious, can serve as a meal in their own right, and offer plenty of scope for culinary creativity. This salad is perfect for taking to a picnic or to work.

In this recipe from Rachel Ray, an American television host and renowned cookbook author, orecchiette pasta is tossed with bitter red-leaf Italian radicchio and onions and dressed with a sweet-savory dressing of orange marmalade, garlic, oregano, and vinegar. The combination of orange and oregano gives this dish a distinctive flavor.
