\"Chedder<\/a>Cheddar Orzo Salad<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only thing scary this Halloween is not having tried this tasty Cheddar Orzo Salad.<\/p>\n

This salad comes packed with flavour from the bold characters of the Canadian Smoked Cheddar to the refreshing green Swiss chard.<\/p>\n

This salad is so delicious even the trick-or-treaters will want a taste!<\/p>\n

To get the best ingredients I shop local \u2013 right down to the cheese I use. Right now I\u2019m obsessed with the intensity of Cows Creamery Appletree Smoked Cheddar<\/strong> and love how it tastes mixed with orzo, grapes, and chicken.<\/p>\n

To top it off I pair it with a rich and savoury red wine like this 2013 Thirty Bench Red<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
