2 lemons, zested and juiced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

This salad can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free orzo. It's also a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

This salad is a great option for vegetarians. It's packed with protein from the orzo and vegetables, and the dressing is made with olive oil instead of mayonnaise.
