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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh salmon and fresh dill. If you can't find fresh salmon, frozen salmon will work just fine.
  • To make the salmon more flavorful, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before cooking.
  • If you don't have any capers, you can substitute chopped pickles or olives.
  • To make the pasta salad ahead of time, cook the salmon and pasta according to the directions in the recipe. Then, let them cool completely before assembling the salad. The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the pasta salad chilled or at room temperature.
