The Perfect Healthy Vegetable & Salmon Pasta Salad Recipe

July 6, 2019

I’ve got a nice summer pasta salad recipe for you today. This one’s as easy as a snap. All you need to do is cook up the pasta and mix it in with all the other ingredients. And, as you may notice below (well, probably not), I purchased a few slick new camera lenses. I’m going for sharpness and clarity now, so I focused in on the food very closely. The lenses are pretty awesome and I’m having a lot of fun messing around with them.

This salad has it all. Besides the pasta, of which you can use any type, it includes both black and kalamata olives, salmon, onion, tomatoes, celery, zucchini, red peppers, mozzarella cheese and some other goodies. It really is the perfect tasty pasta salad.

Pasta Salad in Bowl

Cook the Pasta

Bring four quarts of water to a boil in a large pot on your stove top. Add one tablespoon of salt to the water and then add the pasta. Cook for around 10 minutes or until the pasta is just al dente and then pour the contents of the pot into a colander. Run the pasta under cold water to cool it down. Make sure it strains thoroughly.

The Final Pasta Salad

You can serve this however you want. Separate bowls, on the side of a paper plate at a BBQ – whatever. It’s a very good salad and I like it a lot. And as you can see, it’s rather simple to prepare.

About Jay Gaulard

My name is Jay Gaulard and I'm what I like to call an "inexperienced chef," if that's not an oxymoron. I initially decided to immerse myself into the world of food and cooking in May of 2015, when I began growing, in earnest, my first garden. The garden produced a wonderful yield and with some newfound confidence, my hobby of learning about what I eat took shape. Currently, I'm enrolled in an online cooking school and am quite active with the culinary community. I primarily write posts about what I research and learn along the way.
