Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl). Core, then cut peppers into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces. Drain, then cut or tear olives into bite-sized pieces.
Add half the orzo (use all for 4 ppl) to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6-8 min. Drain and return orzo to the same pot, off heat. Stir in 1 tsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl).
Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels. Add pork, Dill-Garlic Spice Blend, half the garlic salt and 2 tsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a medium bowl. Season with pepper, then toss to coat. Arrange pork on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon any remaining marinade in the bowl over pork. Roast in the bottom of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 14-16 min.** Transfer pork to a clean cutting board to rest for 2-3 min.
Meanwhile, add lemon zest, yogurt and 3 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a small bowl. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Combine lemon juice, 1/2 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add orzo, spring mix, tomatoes, peppers, feta and olives. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
