Hot-Smoked Salmon & Spelt Salad

Spelt is an ancient wholegrain that has a wonderful al dente quality. It's ideal for salads as it has a satisfying earthy, nutty texture and is very versatile. Spelt’s distant cousins, farro and barley, would also work well here. The yogurt and mint dressing can be made in a flash and adds a fresh, minty zing to the flavoursome hot-smoked salmon.
