Orzo & vegetable salad recipe

From the dinner party below, here is my mom's amazing recipe that you requested!

1-1 1/2 C cooked orzo (or farro, rice...whatever grain)
1C Mache or baby arugula
1/2 fennel bulb, core removed, thinkly sliced (I chopped finely)
20 snap peas, blanched and refreshed, cut in half at diagonal (I forgot to chop some veggies before I added) :/
20 baby carrots, roasted and cut in half long ways
1/2 C fresh peas, blanched and refreshed (I used fava beans instead, taken out of the pod, blanched and peeled)
10 asparagus spears, blanched & refreshed, cut into diagonal pieces
4 oz. feta cheese crumbled or cubed
1/3 C roasted hazelnuts, skins rubbed off (put in a tea towel after roasted and rub together, about 350 degrees for 12-15 min)

I also added blanched corn, roasted bell pepper and cherry tomatoes.

vinaigrette
2 tbsp pear vinegar
1 tbsp sherry wine vinegar
1 tsp honey mustard
4 tbsp olive oil
S & P to taste

(I used dijon mustard, added honey and used the pomegranite vinegar from trader Joe's)
