Curry Macaroni Salmon Salad


 The weather is hot,warm, cold -who knows! This is a quick throw together salad that is a
filling meal without being to heavy on whatever kind of day. The curry was a last minute add-in; it  
for surely kicked up the flavor.




Ingredients:

* Salmon (a good can) Sockeye is the best, or use fresh
* 2 cups frozen green peas
* 1 wasabi or dill pickle 
* 1 Lg or 2 small tomatoes (diced small)
* 3-4 Tbsp mayonnaise (I used veganaise)
* 1/2 -1 tsp curry (depending on how much you like curry-adjust to taste)
* Sea salt (to taste)
* Black pepper (freshly ground)
* Lettuce (opt.)

Directions:

* Cook macaroni - while the pasta is cooking dice tomato & pickles - if using fresh salmon cook it before starting the pasta and set aside to cool down.

* When pasta is done simply add your rinsed frozen peas to the same hot pasta water-the peas are so small the hot water will cook it in a minute. This little trick will not only same time, but you'll use one less pot. After letting the peas sit for a minute use a strainer and drain water. Pour into a large bowl, add: mayo, pickles, tomatoes, and salmon mix all in.

* Add: salt, pepper and curry - mix again. Chopped raw onions or cucumbers can be added as well - optional. 

Serve warm or cold on top of any kind of green lettuce (opt.)

Note: Chicken or any other kind of fish can be used in this salad.
