In the mood for a healthy meal but lacking inspiration? We got you. This salad by Alain Indria is everything you are looking for. Fresh, easy to make and deliciously tasty.

Ingredients

  • herb salt
  • 200 grams of buckwheat pasta
  • olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon pesto alla genovese
  • 100 grams of smoked salmon
  • 5 cherry tomatoes
  • 100 grams of arugula
  • pine nuts
  • pecorino

Here's how to make the fresh pasta salad with salmon

1. Bring water to a boil, add some herb salt and the buckwheat pasta. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes and then check if the buckwheat pasta is already cooked. Make sure the pasta stays al dente. After cooking, drain the pasta and rinse it briefly with cold water so it doesn't get too sticky. Then drizzle the pasta with olive oil.

2. Put the buckwheat pasta in a bowl and mix in 1 teaspoon of pesto. Add chopped smoked salmon, halved cherry tomatoes, and arugula. Mix everything well together.

3. Toast the pine nuts for a few minutes in a preheated oven at 200 °C.

4. Shave the pecorino with a cheese slicer. Finish the salad with the roasted pine nuts and the cheese.
