Notes
- Although we used fresh grilled salmon, you could use canned salmon instead. Or even tuna, mackerel or pilchards.
- Not a fan of salmon? You could grill some chicken and chop it up or use some leftover shredded chicken.
- If you want a more traditional pasta salad dressing, swap our salad dressing for mayo, yogurt or creme fraiche to make it creamy.
- This is a great fridge raid meal, so feel free to adapt the ingredients to use whatever you have in your fridge when it comes to vegetables.
- You can make this in advance and it will keep in the fridge for about 2 days.
