Orzo is actually the Italian word for 'barley,' which often confuses folks because the pasta is actually made from wheat flour.

Chef's Notes
Listen closely, culinary adventurer! Orzo is a deceptive little shape that loves to trap moisture. Shake that sieve with absolute fury after rinsing, or your dressing will water down and weep in defeat.
Pro Tip
Render that salami slowly in a cold pan first! It shocks the fat into rendering evenly, giving you crunch without charring.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Do not commit the cardinal sin of serving this warm or waterlogged, lest you present your guests with a sad, clumpy paste of drowned orzo masquerading as a salad. Drain that pasta thoroughly, rinse it cold, and remember that searing the salami is non-negotiable if you want actual crunch rather than soggy meat-bandaids in your bowl!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal subjects are so fancy they call it 'orzo' just to ensure they don't have to admit they are eating tiny rice-shaped flour bits.
The Culinary Science
Salt in the pasta water lowers the vapour pressure slightly while raising the boiling point, but more importantly, it osmotically seasons the orzo from the inside out!
