Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups dried orzo
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions
- Fill a medium sized pot with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add orzo and cook according to package directions. Make the dressing by adding all dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisking until combined. Set aside.
- While orzo is cooking, place a large pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Next, add the frozen peas and cook for about 2 minutes. Once peas are almost finished, add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and cook until peas are warmed through and asparagus is tender. Try not to overcook.
