I scaled this back for 3 but didn't quite have a full cup of cherry tomatoes on the vines so made up with some smaller red heirlooms cut into eighths and I used a 210gram can of red salmon drained and small penne pasta and the DM, DS and I enjoyed the pasta for lunch. Thank you *Parsley*, made for Went to Market.

I made this recipe exactly as written (that's a first) and it turned out great. I used two leftover salmon fillets and salad macaroni. I think that next time I will add some thawed green peas and try dill pickles instead of sweet. The recipe doesn't need changing, however, as it is good just the way it is. Thank you Parsley!

Great easy recipe which lead me to try a few new versions. Second time I made it I used smoked salmon. I left out the pickles but added some dry ranch dressing to the mayonnaise and a few olives. Even better the next day.

My entire family loved this recipe. It is a perfect dinner for summer. I used dill pickles instead of sweet. My husband was thrilled to have leftovers for lunch the next day. Thanks for the recipe. This will be added to our family favorites!

Absolutely wonderful! The entire family enjoyed this, and I got to use up my extra poached salmon in a new and improved way. :-)
