Recipe: Creamy Salmon And Sweet Pea Pasta Salad

This fresh summer pasta salad combines sweet peas with salmon for a delicious, cool and creamy summery dish great for a quick lunch or a potluck side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover grilled salmon from last night's dinner. Use fresh peas from the garden if you have them, but frozen will also work just fine.
