Description

This tasty pasta salad with salmon and dill comes together quickly and is served with a creamy dressing.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cavatappi pasta
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lemon, zested
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
6 ounces cooked and chilled salmon, flaked into bite-sized chunks

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, run under cold water, drain again, and allow to cool.
2 Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, dill, white wine vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt, garlic powder, and lemon zest together.
3 Mix pasta and celery together in a large mixing bowl. Pour in dressing mixture and toss to coat. Gently stir in salmon pieces. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
