It’s
been hot! I mean really hot outside. I’m not a fan of cooking big meals in the
summer anyway, but when temperatures reach one hundred degrees, I’m not turning
on the oven.
Salads
are something I can throw together quickly and easily. Here’s one of my favorites:
Pasta-Salmon Salad
2
cups boiled and cooled pasta
2
large tomatoes cut in wedges
1
can (8 oz.) salmon, flaked
3
scallions, chopped
1/3
cup green olives
1
cup olive oil
3
tbsp. red wine vinegar
½
tsp. salt
¼
tsp. pepper
Combine
all ingredients; toss together until blended. Serve on lettuce. Garnish with parsley.
Makes 4 – 6 servings.
NOTE:
Grilled salmon, or any cooked meat or poultry you have on hand, may be
substituted for the canned salmon.
What
are some of your favorite summertime meals?
