Lemony Dill Salmon Pasta Salad image

Most pasta salads have a mayonnaise base, which I thought was too heavy for a salmon pasta salad. I swapped in a vinaigrette of sorts, with just a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a touch of indulgence. It's the perfect way to use any leftover salmon.

I thought the dressing was a bit too lemony for my taste. Next time, I'll use less lemon juice.

I'm not a big fan of dill, so I substituted parsley instead. It turned out great!
