Salmon Pasta Salad With Pesto Recipe

	Uhannigan / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago 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. Prep:20m Cook:15m Servings:10	Uhannigan

Ingredients

1 box Rotinni

1lb. salmon steak

6-8 green onions (or one med.-sized purple or sweet onion), sliced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 large or 2 small ripe avocado, cut in large dice

1 small can sliced black (ripe) olives

1/2 Cup pesto (I used Scearley's recipe from this site)

Olive oil, high quality virgin

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

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

Brush salmon lightly with some pesto or olive oil.

Broil or bake salmon until it flakes easily with a fork (about 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees). Cool briefly, then flake entire salmon steak and refrigerate.

Thin the pesto with a little olive oil (about 2-3 Tbs.)

Gently mix all ingredients.

Refrigerate until served. Best when refrigerated overnight.

How funny I was just looking through foodies and saw your avatar and it made me laugh I thought to myself " there must be something a bit wrong with me " oh well. Then I click on this recipe and see it's you again :) Anyway, this recipe is one I've made many times, It's also great with a white vodka sauce and grape tomatoes.
