Rotelle Salad With Smoked Trout and Fresh Dill

Makes 8 to 12 servings

1/2 pound rotelle or other corkscrew-shaped dry pasta

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup mayonnaise (regular or reduced-fat will do)

6 tablespoons horseradish

1/2 cup chopped fresh dill or 4 tablespoons dried

4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered if larger

4 tablespoons drained and rinsed capers

1 cup thinly sliced small red onions

24 ounces skinned and boned smoked trout (hard-smoked salmon is a fine substitute) cut into ½-inch cubes

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Lemon juice

1. In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the rotelle until just al dente. Drain and immediately run cold water over it to stop the cooking. Drain again, transfer to a bowl, and toss with the oil. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, horseradish and dill. Stir until smooth. Add the pasta, tomatoes, capers and red onions and toss gently to combine. Carefully fold in the trout. Season to taste with salt and pepper and drops of lemon juice. Pack into a sealable plastic container and keep cold until close to serving time. Serve for brunch or dinner.
