Directions Easy Salmon Brown Rice Pasta Salad
Directions
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta, and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
Drop frozen peas and spinach into boiling pasta during the last minute of cooking. Drain pasta, peas, and spinach in a colander. Return pasta, peas, and spinach to the pot.
Stir in salmon and salad dressing until well combined.
Chill in the refrigerator, about 20 minutes.
Gently stir in carrots, tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and lemon juice.
Garnish with jalapenos.
