Salmon Pasta for lunch
Sick and tired of the same old lunch? I know I am! That is why I was trying for something high in protein but light enough that it wouldn’t mess up my afternoon workout from a heavy lunch. I came up with this creation. (you could substitute the salmon with tuna or another meaty fish like mahimahi).
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat elbow pasta
1/2 cup 1-inch asparagus pieces
6 oz. cooked salmon, mahi mahi, tuna, etc
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup diced yellow bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1 tsp. fresh lemon zest
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill weed
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1/4 cup shaved parmesan cheese
Prep:
Cook pasta according to package, adding asparagus during the final two minutes of cooking. Drain and rinse in cold water. Combine salmon, onion, bell peppers, lemon zest and dill. Mix together yogurt and lemon juice in a bowl and add to the salmon mixture. Toss in pasta and combine thoroughly. Refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Top with a fresh squeezed lemon and cherry tomatoes and parmesan cheese.
