How to Make Smoked Salmon Dill And Cucumber Pasta Salad

  1. Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool quickly. Alternatively, chill in a covered bowl in the refrigerator.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or mayonnaise), 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or substitute with additional yogurt), 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1-2 dashes of Tabasco sauce until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber, 8 ounces smoked salmon (cut into bite-sized pieces), and the cooled pasta.
  4. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra dill, if desired.
