Salmon And Edamame Pasta Salad Food

SALMON PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• If using canned salmon, pick the salmon meat from the bones and skin and set aside. If using cooked fresh salmon, break into large, bite-sized pieces.
• The cooked pasta will be added to the dressing while it is still hot so make the dressing and prepare the vegetables before cooking the pasta.
• Make the dressing in a very large bowl by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, sugar, celery salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Measure out and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Place a large pot of salted water on to boil and cook the pasta to al dente.
• Just before pouring the pasta into a colander, add the frozen peas to the water then immediately pour the pasta and peas to drain into the colander.
• Shake off as much water as possible and dab the pasta with paper towels to soak up any last drops.
• *Pour the hot pasta and peas into the large bowl that has the dressing and gentle toss to combine.
• Add the red bell pepper and the onions and toss again.
• Finally add the cooked salmon and gently fold to combine without breaking up the salmon too much.
• Pour the mixture onto a sheet tray in a single layer* and place in the refrigerator uncovered for a quick cool down.
• After an hour, remove the tray from the refrigerator and pour into a large serving bowl and refrigerate again until completely chilled, about 1-2 more hours.
• Serve as a cold entrée over a bed of lettuce or as a side dish with a grilled meat.

Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle the tops with the sesame seeds. Serve with edamame and lime wedges.
