Ingredients
- 2 cups dried pasta (see note 1)
- 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon sour cream
- ¼ cup celery (chopped)
- 2 tablespoon gherkins (chopped) (see note 2)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)
- 3 oz smoked salmon (see note 3)
- 1 lemon
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in well salted water for 2 minutes longer than the packet suggests. Once cooked, drain and quickly cool the pasta under cold. running water.
- Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream together in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta and stir gently to coat the pasta.
- Add the chopped celery, gherkins, dill and chives to the pasta and then fold together to combine all the ingredients.
- Add the smoked salmon pieces and stir well.
- Grate in 1 tablespoon of lemon zest (save the lemon for a G&T later)
- Garnish with extra dill and chives and serve, or refrigerate for upto 24 hours.
Notes
- You want to pick a pasta that will hold up to some stirring. So I would avoid things like farfalle (bowtie) pasta. Spirals work well, or you can go more traditional with a macaroni. A penne, rotini, or a ziti would also be a good choice.
- I like to use baby gherkins in this recipe as they tend to be crunchier and a little less sweet. But use your favorite kind.
- This recipe works perfectly with smoked salmon trimmings, making it more cost effective!
