LEMONY DILL SALMON PASTA SALAD



Lemony Dill Salmon Pasta Salad image

Most pasta salads have a mayonnaise base, which I thought was too heavy for a salmon pasta salad. I swapped in a vinaigrette of sorts, with just a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a touch of indulgence. It's the perfect way to use any leftover salmon.

6 ounces angel hair pasta
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup milk (do not use low-fat or nonfat)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 1/2 tablespoons drained capers

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your pasta salad. Use fresh salmon, dill, and vegetables, and choose a high-quality pasta.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the pasta salad hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Flake the salmon: Flaking the salmon will help it distribute evenly throughout the pasta salad. You can flake the salmon with a fork or with your fingers.
  • Chop the vegetables finely: Finely chopped vegetables will help them blend in with the other ingredients and make the pasta salad easier to eat.
  • Use a light dressing: A light dressing will help the flavors of the other ingredients shine through. A simple vinaigrette or a mayonnaise-based dressing are both good options.
  • Serve the pasta salad chilled: Pasta salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad more refreshing.

Pasta salad with salmon and dill is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a pasta salad that is sure to impress your friends and family.
