Salmon Pasta Salad (Slimming World Friendly)

Here's how:

• 500g salmon
• 350g dried pasta
• 1 tbsp capers
• !/4 cucumber
• 3 tbsp frozen peas
• Handful dill fronds
• 2 large spring onions
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Fill and boil the kettle and place the oven on at 180 degrees. 

Pop the salmon into an oven-proof dish and place into the oven for 10 minutes or until cooked through.

Cook the pasta with the boiled water and a pinch of salt according to the packet instructions or until cooked; usually between 9-11 minutes. 

Also cook the frozen peas and drain and set aside .

In the meantime prepare the rest of the salad ingredients. Dice the cucumber, pull the dill fronds apart and slice the spring onions and add all to a big bowl. Add the capers whole. 

Once cooked, drain the pasta and give a good shake and add to the bowl with the peas. 

Finally add the salmon, gently cut into flakes and add to the bowl.

Now add the light mayonnaise and Dijon mustard and season generously and give a really good stir till all of the pasta is coated with the sauce. 

Spoon into serving bowls and then add a few more dill fronds and a pinch of black pepper. Enjoy!
