🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, swap the sour cream and feta for unsweetened coconut yogurt or a firm plant-based feta. To avoid wheat, use gluten-free pasta or rice in place of the orzo while keeping the chickpeas, herbs, and vegetables.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm pita, a simple cucumber salad, or grilled chicken for a fuller meal. A crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon also fits the bright, savory flavors.
