@dontgobaconmyheart_: Day 16 | 20 Days of 20 Minute Summer Dinners 😋 If you’ve never made a pasta salad with salmon before then this is your sign to do so! Enjoy 😄 Chris x SALMON PASTA SALAD | Serves 4 INGREDIENTS ➡️DRESSING 120g / 1/2 cup full-fat Mayo 120g / 1/2 cup Sour Cream 1 1/2 tbsp Lemon Juice 1 heaped tbsp finely diced Fresh Chives 1 heaped tbsp finely diced Fresh Dill 2 tsp Dijon Mustard 1/2 tsp EACH: Sugar, Black Pepper, or to taste 1/8 tsp Salt, or to taste* ➡️SALAD 1 Bagel, sliced into semi-circles 300g / 1 1/2 cups / 10.5oz uncooked Orzo 200g / 7oz Smoked Salmon, roughly torn/sliced 150g / 5.3oz Cucumber, sliced in to small pieces 2 1/2 tbsp Capers 1/2 small Red Onion, finely diced Olive Oil or Oil Spray, for croutons METHOD 1️⃣Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Add the bagel chips to a baking tray and spray or drizzle with oil. Toss in a pinch of salt then bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crisp. Leave to completely cool (they'll crisp up more as they cool). 2️⃣Meanwhile, add the orzo to salted boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water until completely cool. Give it a really good shake to remove excess water. 3️⃣As the pasta is cooking combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. 4️⃣In a large bowl, combine the drained/rinsed orzo, cucumber, capers, onion and dressing. Stir in the croutons and salmon until everything is evenly distributed then serve and enjoy! *I only add a small amount to the dressing as the capers and salmon add a good amount of salt to everything. You can adjust with more salt after everything has combined if you'd like. **It's important that you let the croutons cool so they don't warm the dressing and turn it gloopy. They will hold up pretty well and stay crunchy for a good 30 mins or so. If you want to make the salad ahead of time leave out the croutons and store them in an airtight container at room temp, then stir in before serving. Keep the pasta salad tightly covered in the fridge.
