Note

Tips

  • - You can make this pasta salad with farro (emmer) or wholemeal pasta too as you can se in the photo.

Menu planning

  • - Serve it at your Sunday family lunch or as a course in a complete menu for a celebration party. In the last case it serves more people (4 to 5 servings). I generally prepare this pasta salad with salmon and artichokes for my fish BBQ party or my full fish-only menus.
    Think of it for your meal, buffet-style too!

Healthy eating

  • - Serve this pasta salad at lunch and complete your meal only with fresh fruit. It's a pefect one-plate meal! Add raw seasonal vegetable (celery, carrots, tomatoes or bell peppers without dressing these vegetables) if you are still hungry. Don't exceed with protein at dinner, it would be better a vegetarian menu at dinner. Eventually, to reduce the calories, use only 80 g (2 3/4oz) pasta.
    Here are the doses per head: 90g (3 1/4 ounces) pasta, 15g (1/2 ounce) sundried tomatoes, 30g (1 ounce) artichokes in oil, 50g (1 3/4 ounce) smoked salmon, aromatic herbs and 2 teaspoons olive oil.

What's the right wine ?

Our tip is Pinot Grigio, a tasty white wine of Friuli in Italy
