Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb bowtie pasta cooked in salted water
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1.5 cups cucumber quartered and sliced thinly (about 1 large cucumber)
  • 6 oz canned salmon boneless and skinless, drained
  • 1/2 cup red onions sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated, I get this from the refrigerated section in the market

Old Bay Vinaigrette

  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Add the vinaigrette ingredients to a mixing bowl and use a whisk to combine.
  • Add the pasta, vegetables, parmesan cheese to a large bowl and mix to combine.
  • Pour on the vinaigrette and stir to combine.
  • Add the canned salmon and gently fold into the salad - adding it separately allows you to keep some salmon chunks. But, you could also add it in step 2 if you're not concerned about that.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for it to chill. Stir again before serving
