3 green onions, diced 3
1 small zucchini, trimmed and diced 1
1 yellow pepper, seeded and diced 1
1 cup frozen baby peas, thawed 250 mL

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, dice red apple. Place apple pieces in a solution of 2 cups cold water and 2 Tbsp lemon juice, for 1 – 2 minutes. This will prevent apple from browning. Drain pasta well.
Have all remaining salad ingredients at room temperature. Combine cooked pasta, drained apple pieces, salmon, celery, green onions, zucchini, yellow pepper and peas in large salad bowl. Pour dressing over top and toss lightly. Garnish with walnuts. Serve immediately.
