Ingredients

Dressing (see note 1):

  • 80g (⅓ cup) Greek yoghurt
  • 40g (2½ tbs) mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • ¼ tsp cayenne powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp oregano

Pasta Salad (see note 2):

  • 500g (17½ oz) pasta (see note 3)
  • 1 orange bell pepper (small)
  • ¼ cucumber (seeds removed)
  • 2 red spring onions
  • 6 plum tomatoes
  • 250g (8¾ oz) cooked salmon

Instructions

  • Add all dressing ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Set to one side.
  • Cook the pasta as per the instructions on the packet (but keep it slightly on the al dente side).
  • Drain the water and run the pasta under a cold tap, running a fork through it to separate it. Leave it to cool completely.
  • Chop all of the other ingredients to your own size preference. Stir into the prepared dressing.
  • When the pasta is cold, mix into the vegetables and dressing, stirring until evenly combined. Enjoy!

Notes

 
  1. I don't like too much sauce (dressing). If you like more, double the measurements.
  2. Pick your own veggies - you can use anything.
  3. You can use any pasta you like. I used gluten free penne.
