For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt or substitute a portion of the yogurt with mayonnaise. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing. Feel free to substitute the salmon with cooked chicken or shrimp for a different protein option. Add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or edamame, for added crunch and nutrition. This salad is best served chilled, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, curry powder, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasonings to taste. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked pasta, flaked salmon, minced red onion, diced celery, and diced apple. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04

30 mins
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps the salad to chill thoroughly. (Refrigerate time: 30 minutes)
