👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes.

Drain, rinse in cold water, drain well, and place in a serving bowl.

Top pasta with cucumber, tomatoes, and shallot.

Break up salmon and sprinkle on top.

Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, lemon-pepper seasoning, mustard, salt, and dill in a small bowl for the vinaigrette.

Drizzle over the salad and toss gently to combine.
