Make this simple and fresh salmon salad using canned salmon. It is ready fast and works well for sandwiches or lettuce wraps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (7.5 ounce) can salmon, drained and skin/bones removed
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Drain the canned salmon well. Place the salmon in a medium bowl and flake it apart with a fork until it is mostly fine.
  2. Add the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the bowl. Mix until just combined.
  3. Stir in the chopped celery, red onion, and fresh dill.
  4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat option, substitute all mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
  • Serve this salad on whole-wheat bread for sandwiches, spooned into crisp lettuce cups, or over a bed of mixed greens.
  • If you prefer a less creamy texture, reduce the mayonnaise/yogurt by half.
