It cooks too quickly, just a pan of salted water with a little olive ol.Brinng to the boil, add the orzo and stir through. Keep an eye on it, it cooks relatively quickly, then I drain and rinse and pop it straight into the serving bowl, then add one lot of lemon zest and seasoninngs, then olive oil, the spinach leaves,mix well, then add the broken up salmon and extra zest and juice etc.

the old boy is very good at smoking the salmon on the BBQ - uses all sorts of things mixed with green tea leaves

definitely with the pasta over here - only $1 a packet from Coles - there were two types -soup orzo and salad orzo - I have made it three times now with slight variations and all the family agree that I shouldnt bother making rice salad anymore!

OMG I just had to bump this. made this salad today for the second time, and just had a taste from the fridge (pre-dinner, lol). it is AMAZING, and I'd recommend for everyone try it - it's also very simple!I've used the snipped dill, but I don't include the peas. it's SOOOO good!I'm going to make it for our family xmas party this year as my salad offering.

Heya cookessentials.
A big thank you for your amazing Hot Smoked salmon and Orzo recipe! I had Mum over yesterday (as a thank you for Xmax dinner) and made your recipe. We both loved it and will be a big fav now. My spinach bolted so i used some freshly picked sugar snap peas and it was so good. I sent her to your Facebook page as your shop looks right up her alley.
Thanks once again and I hope you have a wonderful New Years :)

Hi Holly, Happy New Year to you. It is one of our favourites in this house and always so quick and easy, especially after work because I can have dinner on the table in around twenty minutes. I buy the "Sproutman" baby spinach leaves which are tsp size or slightly bigger. Sounds delish with the sugar snap peas too. I have been making it and using the Sunshine Coast lime salt as a seasoning instead of ordinary salt. Make sure Mum lets us know who she is as we have had a heap of new "likers" lately.she can enter the draw for the salad hands that's running at the moment, she just has to come up with her favourite salad recipe LOL Draw is being done later today. The salad is so easy and so tasty. I dont bother with the peas in it and sometimes omit the dill if I dont have it. I often do it as a light Summer lunch and it's always a hit.
