Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound uncooked orzo pasta
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups kale leaves, stems removed
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup dried cherries
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ounces smoked salmon, flaked
3 ounces ricotta salata

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add orzo and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer onto a large baking sheet. Drizzle orzo with 3 tablespoons olive oil, toss, spread out, and set aside to cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Once the orzo is cool, transfer to a large serving bowl. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Blanch kale in the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Drain off water from kale and submerge in a bowl of ice water. Drain and blot dry.
  • Add kale to orzo along with 1/4 cup olive oil, dried cherries, pine nuts, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Top with flaked salmon. Shave ricotta salata cheese on top and serve immediately.
