Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ (16 ounce) package mezze (short) penne pasta

  • 1 cup sliced and quartered cucumber

  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot

  • 1 (2.6 ounce) pouch wild-caught pink salmon

Vinaigrette:

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, drain well, and place in a serving bowl.

  2. Top pasta with cucumber, tomatoes, and shallot. Break up salmon and sprinkle on top.

  3. Make vinaigrette: Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, lemon-pepper seasoning, mustard, salt, and dill in a small bowl until well combined.

  4. Drizzle vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
