Salmon Pasta Salad

Recipe #204607 | 15 min | 15 min prep | add private note

Don't recall where this recipe came from years ago, but it is one of the few salmon recipes that I really like. Note that 1.75 cups of cold baked salmon can be substituted for the canned salmon. If the final product seems too dry for your taste, additional red wine vinegar and olive oil can be added.

SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)

    I think a full pound of pasta is too much, you could easily reduce it by as much as half. And it took me a bit more than 15 minutes to wash and slice up all those veggies. But my husband and I both LOVED IT! Really tastes great!

    4 stars for a lovely recipe. DH, the Pasta Fanatic and severe critic liked this ( yeah ! success!!!) and commented that it would be especially nice on a hot summer's day. He doesn't like acidic tastes too much so I lessed the red wine vinegar and slightly upped the olive oil that he adores, and since celery, especially raw, isn't a favourite of his either I sauted some white onion and the celery very gently until they were soft-ish to make them acceptable and added chives later too as I had no green onions to hand. The carrots got left behind becuase DH left them in the plastic after doing the shopping and in a few short days of unseasonably warm weather they were totally covered in mould, ugh, maybe once peeled they might have been ok, but I hate taking that kind of risk, so ditched them. The tastes of this salad blended well together and the salmon was refeshing. Please see my Rating System: 4 stars for an easy and healthy meal that was made and eaten in no time. Thanks!

    Very good! I made this today for someone to take on a picnic but I of course had a taste. Left out the peppers and olive added more celery, carrots, and also a red onion. A great salad that I plan on making much more often for myself and others.
