Salmon Salad – An Upgrade to Tuna Salad

Salmon Salad: A Tuna Salad Upgrade

While Tuna Salad is a classic American favorite, Salmon Salad is an upgrade you won’t want to miss.

Tuna Salad is quick and simple to make, easy to store, and packed with good nutrition. Here’s a little tip to upgrade it a bit – Use canned salmon in place of tuna.

Salmon Salad

Sometimes you need something quick and easy using ingredients that are already in your kitchen. Salmon salad can be as simple as opening a can of salmon and mixing in some mayo and maybe a chopped dill pickle or a spoon of pickle relish. All of these ingredients are easy to keep on hand for months at a time. I keep these basics stocked in my fridge and cabinet. I’m always ready with this go-to recipe as a back-up when I haven’t had time to plan or make anything else.

If you want to get a bit fancy, add chopped or shredded vegetables like celery, carrots, red onion, or scallions. Serve with some lettuce or chopped cucumbers. Add a bit of lemon and some garlic powder spice it up a bit. Ultimately, though, keeping it simple can be just as good.

This simple dish is packed with nutrition, and easy to make when you don’t have time to prep anything else.
