Recipe by: Healtheries
Ingredients
250 g Healtheries Simple Spirals
100 g asparagus
1 red onion, finely sliced
185 g can salmon, dried and flaked
1 red or yellow pepper, cut into chunks
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup black olives, optional
1 tbsp Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
Cook pasta following the directions on the back of the pack. While pasta is cooking prepare salad.
Blanch asparagus in boiling water for 2 mins. Drain then plunge into cold water so they retain their colour and don't overcook.
Place pasta, red onion, salmon, red and yellow pepper, tomatoes and olives (if used), into a salad bowl, add dressing and toss gently.
Scatter the Italian parsley leaves on top, and then serve immediately.
Serve with a fresh green salad with some olive oil drizzled lightly on top.
