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.

The orzo was overcooked and the vegetables were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more lemon and herbs.
