Salmon Pasta Salad
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling
YIELD: 8 servings.
This recipe was one of my husband's favorite ways to enjoy salmon. I've had it so long I don't even remember where it came from originally. This salad is a nice light meal for a hot summer day, and it lets the salmon flavor come through.
