Orzo pasta salad tips

Up your vegetable count by adding other raw, diced Green Zone Veggies like peeled cucumbers, radishes, celery, arugula, and spinach.

Try adding diced, grilled chicken for additional protein!

Fresh dill can lose its flavor quickly, so try growing it yourself at home for the freshest dill possible!
