Several generations have passed down this traditional British recipe. To ensure that it is not forgotten, I would like to archive it here. Our family loves it, and I hope this delectable shortcake brings joy to a lot of other folks as well!

Ingredients

  1. ½ (16 ounce) package mezze (short) penne pasta
  2. 1 cup sliced and quartered cucumber
  3. 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  4. 2 tablespoons minced shallot

  10. ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

Very good! I used a little bit less pasta and canned Alaska sockeye salmon. A family member doesn’t like tomatoes so I didn’t put any fresh ones but managed to hide some dried tomato bits. I will definitely add this recipe to my collection.

This recipe is TERRIFIC!!! Easy to make and the taste was certainly worth the time spent making the salad. I’m going to try it with shrimp next. This recipe is staying in my salad rotation for now!
