To make Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pot with lightly salted water, bring to a rolling boil, over high heat.
Stir in the fusilli; return to boil. Cook the pasta uncovered for about 12 minutes or until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to bite. Drain well, rinse with cold water. Transfer cooled pasta to a large bowl.
Toss in the carrot, onion, cucumber, celery and salmon with the pasta and mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and mix well.
Pour the seasoning sauce over the pasta mixture. Mix well to coat evenly and serve.
