Equipment

  • pasta pot
  • colander
  • mixing bowl
  • sturdy spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound shaped pasta elbow, campanelle, farfale, etc...
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black or white pepper
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon picked free of bones and skin, if included in the package, and flaked
  • 1/2 red onion peeled and finely diced
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons non-pareil capers drained and rinsed

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water to stop the cooking.
  • While the pasta cools, whisk together the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, fresh dill, salt, and pepper until smooth in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the cooled pasta, salmon, red onion, hard boiled eggs, and capers, and toss gently to coat. This is best if stashed in the refrigerator -tightly covered- for at least 1 hour but up to 1 day before serving, but can also be served immediately.
  • If you do store it overnight, you may want to stir in a little extra mayonnaise and white wine vinegar to loosen it back up as the pasta absorbs dressing while it rests in the refrigerator.
