A delicious and vitamin-packed alternative to tuna salad, this salmon salad is made with tangy pickles, low-fat yogurt, and a bit of creamy mayonnaise.
Salmon Salad Mix
Ingredients
1 can (14.75 ounce) salmon, drained
¼ cup pickle relish (dill or sweet) or chopped pickles
¼ cup nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons lemon juice (about ½ lemon)
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- In a medium bowl, break up salmon and skin and mash small bones with a fork.
- Add relish, yogurt, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Mix together until well combined.
- Chill before serving. Serve on a bed of salad greens or use as a sandwich filling.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Small salmon bones are soft after canning. They can be mashed and eaten for more calcium.
- Salmon skin is also soft after canning. Stir it in for healthy fats (omega-3 fatty acids).
