Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad

From John's Recipe Collection

Recipe modified from one on a can of Totem smoked salmon.

¾ oz. smoked salmon
¼ cup cooked rotini (1/16 - 12 oz package), drained and cooled
Lemon dressing (see below)

If salmon includes liquid, drain it and reserve the liquid. Break salmon into chunks. Combine with rotini in a large bowl. Add lemon dressing and toss lightly.

Lemon Dressing:

Reserved salmon liquid, if any
Leaves of 1/32 bunch basil (variation: mint)
½ tbsp. olive oil
3/32 tsp. minced garlic, or 3/16 clove
1/32 tsp. salt
1/32 tsp. dill weed
1/32 tsp. ground black pepper
3/16 oz. shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
3/8 tsp. lemon juice and 1/32 tsp. crushed, grated lemon peel
or if doubling recipe, juice and zest of 1 medium lemon
or (variation) juice and zest of 1/16 lime

Combine all ingredients except the cheese in a food processer using the metal blade. Process until the basil is appropriately minced. Mix in the cheese.
