Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt.

Toast the pistachios lightly in a dry skillet for a more intense nutty flavor. Cool completely before adding to the yogurt.

This dessert pairs perfectly with grilled lamb chops or roasted vegetables with herbs.

"This bright orzo salad provides a refreshing counterpoint to the baked chicken. The lemon and herbs echo the Mediterranean flavors, while the light pasta base won't weigh you down before the main course. The acidity also cuts through the richness of the feta in the chicken."
