This was my contribution to this year's Thanksgiving dinner. It was very well received by the adults. Not so with the children, though. Pesto just isn't kid food.
Ingredients
- 1 box Rotinni shopping list
- 1lb. salmon steak shopping list
- 6-8 green onions (or one med.-sized purple or sweet onion), sliced shopping list
- 1 red bell pepper, diced shopping list
- 1 large or 2 small ripe avocado, cut in large dice shopping list
- 1 small can sliced black (ripe) olives shopping list
- 1/2 Cup pesto (I used Scearley's recipe from this site) shopping list

How to make it
- Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions, then rinse in cold water and drain.

- Gently mix all ingredients.
- Refrigerate until served. Best when refrigerated overnight.
