Italian Salmon Pasta Salad

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; rinse with cold water.

Place salmon on microwave-safe plate. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave salmon on HIGH for 3 to 5 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees or fish flakes easily with a fork.

Combine cooked pasta, garbanzo beans, cucumber, red onion, black olives and carrots in a large bowl. Pour dressing* over salad. Toss to coat.

Place 1 cup of romaine lettuce on each plate.

Top lettuce with one-fourth of the pasta salad. Sprinkle pasta salad with Parmesan cheese. Place flaked salmon atop each plate.

*TIP: Purchased balsamic vinaigrette dressing may be used in place of Italian dressing.
