LEMON ORZO PRIMAVERA
Colorful vegetables and the flavors of lemon and thyme make this orzo dish great for picnics. You can chop the zucchini and carrot instead of grating them to cut down on prep time, just be sure to cook them for a few minutes longer before adding the orzo.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and garlic, which helped to improve the flavor. Next time, I'll try using a different type of cheese, such as Parmesan or Romano.
