ASPARAGUS AND SMOKED SALMON PASTA IN LEMON PISTACHIO VINAIGRETTE

Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Pasta in Lemon Pistachio Vinaigrette image

I used to eat a salad similar to this at a place called Massimo's. I was disappointed they went out of business, so I came up with what best approximated theirs and I've been a happy camper since. This is probably better in the warmer months, as it's served room temperature. Serve with your favorite Italian bread.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package farfalle pasta (butterfly)
1/2 tablespoon salt
6 -8 cups water
1 bunch slender asparagus, washed and cooked al dente
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup pistachio nut, unshelled
2 ounces smoked salmon, cut into strips
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Steps:

Cook the farfalle in 1/2 tbs salted water, according to the package directions for time.
Prepare the vinaigrette.
When the pasta is done, run it under cold water and pat dry with paper towels, then toss it with the vinaigrette.
Cut the stems from the asparagus and boil or steam the asparagus for a minute or two, depending on thickness.
Cut the salmon into strips and put them in the bowl with the pasta.
Run the cooked asparagus under cold water until cool and cut into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces and add to the pasta, tossing the salad again.
Top with chopped parsley and refrigerate for several hours.
Remove and let it come to room temperature and serve.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh lemons, good olive oil, and crunchy pistachios will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dressing.
Toast the pistachios before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the pistachios by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just be sure to shake it well before using.

Conclusion:

Pistachio lemon vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on salads, grilled vegetables, or even fish and chicken.
