Not a fan of this recipe. The orzo was overcooked and the feta was too strong.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still pretty good. I think next time I'll use less feta cheese.

This orzo dish was a delightful surprise! The feta and arugula added a tangy and fresh flavor that perfectly complemented the nutty orzo. I especially loved the addition of lemon zest, which brightened up the dish and made it feel extra special.
