Easter Orzo with Smokey Tomato Vinigrette

I follow Giada De Laurentiis on Twitter and earlier this week she posted her Easter Menu, it all sounded delicious but I was really excited about her side dish she posted, an orzo with a Smokey Tomato Vinaigrette.
Ingredients:
1 pound cherry tomatoes
1 pound orzo pasta
Vinaigrette:
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, torn
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon smoked salt*
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
*I found the smoked salt at a local fine gourmet cooking store called The Better Cheddar
