Ingredients

  • 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

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed

Directions

Step 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.

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

Step 3
Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, lemon-pepper seasoning, mustard, salt, and dill in a small bowl for the vinaigrette. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently to combine.
