Simple Salmon Pasta Salad

Submitted by jessi_mcg

"This came about one night when pasta salad was on the menu but I wasn't in the mood for chicken. It would probably be good with parmesan or feta cheese added...mmmm. Cooking time includes chilling time. Enjoy!"

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 295.73 ml whole wheat penne
• 226.79 g salmon fillets
• 236.59 ml carrot
• 236.59 ml celery
• 236.59 ml bell pepper
• 29.58 ml black olives, sliced
• 118.29 ml fat-free Italian salad dressing
• Mrs. Dash seasoning mix, to taste (I use several healthy shakes)

directions

1. Broil salmon until cooked through and set aside. (I like to pour some dressing over the salmon before broiling for more flavor).
2. Cook pasta according to package directions. During the last three minutes of cooking, add veggies to the pot. Drain all together.
3. Once salmon has cooled, cut into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Add veggie/pasta mix, then add remaining ingredients. Chill before serving.

Very good and easy! I used red wine vinegrette instead of Italian dressing, but otherwise made as directed for a very easy and healthy dinner. Thanks for sharing!
