WOOD SMOKED SALMON & ORZO SALAD



Wood Smoked Salmon & Orzo Salad image

I found this recipe in the chat room. It sounds so nice, I'm posting it here for safe keeping. The recipe calls for for Wood Smoked Salmon with a Peppery Crust, but I would expect any hot smoked salmon would work in it okay. If dill is not available it is okay to leave out.
