Cook the orzo in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Once done, strain it and run cold water on it to quickly cool it!
While your pasta is cooking, whip up your homemade red tomato pesto in your food processor. See our red pesto post for how to do that. You can also use store-bought pesto if you don't want to make your own.
Dice up the cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes and set aside.
Combine the oil and pesto in a large bowl. Add the drained orzo, then mix in the cucumbers, salami, tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and sprinkle pine nuts on top! You can also top with parmesan if desired.
