Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Pasta in Lemon Pistachio Vinaigrette image

I used to eat a salad similar to this at a place called Massimo's. I was disappointed they went out of business, so I came up with what best approximated theirs and I've been a happy camper since. This is probably better in the warmer months, as it's served room temperature. Serve with your favorite Italian bread.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with a more flavorful vinaigrette.
