Salmon Pasta Salad
This sounds really good, a must try for me. For those in Thailand, make use of your rice cooker and steam salmon instead of the high priced small cans of salmon. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 250 grams spiral pasta, cooked and drained
- 2 cups cooked salmon, canned OR make from a shortcut
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 medium cucumber, quartered and sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup canola oil, or rice bran, or corn oil
- 1/3 cup lemon juice, or lime juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dill
- 1 clove garlic, smashed and finely minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 head lettuce, torn
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the pasta, salmon, tomatoes, cucumber and onion.
- To make the dressing combine the canola, rice bran, or corn oil, lemon or lime juice, dill, garlic, salt and pepper and whisk well. Pour over pasta salad. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Serve over lettuce leaves.
Notes
Figure 3 salmon fillets, you need to skin these yourself, to make the 2 cups of cooked salmon. The salmon fillets I get are 69 Baht each. For 6 servings, this is about $1.02, good value overall.
