Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad

Step 1

Boil a salted pot of water for the orzo and cook it al dente according to package instructions. When it's done, rinse it with cool water and drain it thoroughly, then add it to a large bowl.

Step 2

Meanwhile, combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Prep your other salad ingredients and add them to the large bowl.

Step 3

Toss the ingredients together (I also like to add plenty of salt & pepper as there's quite a lot of pasta and you don't want it to be bland - be sure to taste and season as needed). You can serve the salad right away or chill it for a while first. This pasta salad is best served cold vs. room temperature.
