Smoked Salmon, Dill and Cucumber Pasta Salad image

This is an improvisation on two recipes that I found on 'Zaar (#78690 and #211843). It makes a great summer dinner. You can substitute lowfat or nonfat sour cream for the mayo if you want something a bit lighter.

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (7 ounce) container low-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dill
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
4 -6 green onions, chopped
1 medium cucumber, chopped
8 ounces wood-smoked salmon, cubed
1 lb spiral pasta or 1 lb shell pasta

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and chill by running it under cold tap water or, if you have time, putting it in a covered bowl in the refrigerator.
  • Combine the yogurt, mayo, dill, salt, pepper, brown sugar, lemon juice and tabasco until well-blended (I use a kitchen mixer for this).
  • Toss the dressing with the green onions, cucumber, salmon and pasta, (I use a mixer for this, too) and serve immediately.
