                         From John's Recipe Collection


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

* 192 lb. smoked salmon
* 64 gallons cooked rotini (256 - 12 oz packages), drained and cooled
*  Lemon dressing (see below)

chunks. Combine with rotini in a large bowl. Add lemon dressing and toss 
lightly.

Lemon Dressing:

*  Reserved salmon liquid, if any
* Leaves of 128 bunches basil (variation: mint)
* 8 gallons olive oil
* 2 quarts minced garlic, or 768 cloves
* 2 1/2 cups salt
* 2 1/2 cups dill weed
* 2 1/2 cups ground black pepper
* 48 lb. shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
* 2 gallons lemon juice and 2 1/2 cups crushed, grated lemon peel
  *or* if doubling recipe, juice and zest of 1 medium lemon
  *or* (variation) juice and zest of 256 limes

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.
