Most pasta salads have a mayonnaise base, which I thought was too heavy for a salmon pasta salad. For this recipe, I swapped in a vinaigrette of sorts, with just a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a touch of indulgence. This lemony dill salmon pasta salad is the perfect way to use any leftover salmon
