Salmon Salad
Prep Time:
20 mins.
Yield:
3 cups, 6 servings
The next time you cook salmon, grill, bake or poach an extra pound to make salmon salad. (You can use canned salmon, too. See if you need to add a little extra lemon juice.) Serve in a hollow tomato or half an avocado for maximum impact. If you like curry, try substituting that for paprika.
