Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook orzo according to package directions. About 1 ½ minutes before the orzo is done, add the asparagus. When the pasta is done cooking, drain it all in a colander and rinse with cold water until cool.
In a large bowl, combine orzo, asparagus, spinach, brussels sprouts, bell pepper, tomatoes, parsley, and almonds.
Lemon Dijon Dressing
In a glass measuring cup, small bowl, or jar, whisk together all the dressing ingredients until combined. Pour over the pasta salad and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir again. Serve cold or at room temperature.
