Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad

From John's Recipe Collection

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

48 lb. smoked salmon
16 gallons cooked rotini (64 - 12 oz packages), 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 32 bunches basil (variation: mint)
2 gallons olive oil
2 cups minced garlic, or 192 cloves
2/3 cup salt
2/3 cup dill weed
2/3 cup ground black pepper
12 lb. shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
2 quarts lemon juice and 2/3 cup crushed, grated lemon peel
or if doubling recipe, juice and zest of 1 medium lemon
or (variation) juice and zest of 64 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.
