Mediterranean Salmon Pasta Salad Recipe
During hot temperatures, it is preferable to have light meals, and when our salad includes pasta, salmon, and vegetables, it becomes a complete meal!
Ingredients
- 350 grams penne or other pasta with holes
- 250 grams canned salmon without the water
- 170 grams low-fat mayonnaise
- 250 grams low fat strained yoghurt
- 2 tablespoon pickled cucumber cut into slices
- 2 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoon olives in slices
- 6-8 piece cherry tomatoes
- 2 piece spring onions in slices
- 1/2 piece bunch of dill just the leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and add two tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a deep bowl, combine the pasta, salmon (in large pieces, well-drained from the canned liquid), halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, finely chopped dill, fresh onions, sliced pickled cucumber, and capers (rinse and drain them well before adding).
- Gently mix the ingredients together, being careful not to break up the salmon.
- In a separate bowl, combine the strained yogurt, mayonnaise, and a pinch of pepper. Mix well.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the pasta bowl and stir to combine all the ingredients. Cover the bowl with transparent wrap and refrigerate.
- Serve the macaroni salad with salmon chilled.
