Salmon Salad with Lemon and Dill

Jessica Braider
My family couldn’t believe how delicious this humble salad was. Not only is it inexpensive to make and heart-healthy, but it is so versatile. You can serve it over greens, stuff it in a pita, or eat it on crackers. However you serve it, it’s a super combination of tastes. This recipe is adapted from the HEARTy Salmon Salad recipe from City Harvest food rescue program.

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz. canned salmon use wild salmon if you can find it
  • 4 Tbsp. reduced fat mayonnaise or use plain nonfat or low fat yogurt
  • 1 lemon juice only (1/4 cup)
  • 1 small bunch dill finely chopped (1/4 cup)
  • ¼ – ½ yellow onion finely diced (1 cup) or use celery
  • 10 oz. frozen peas thawed

Instructions
 

  • Drain the salmon in a colander and discard any skin or bones (thought they are edible and very healthy if you don’t want to discard them.)
  • In a medium bowl, combine the salmon, mayonnaise or yogurt, lemon juice, dill and onions and stir to combine.
  • Gently mix in the peas. Serve it immediately or chill the salad until you are ready to serve it, up to 24 hours.

Notes

Do Ahead or Delegate: Juice the lemon, chop the dill, dice the onion or celery, thaw the peas, or fully prepare and refrigerate the salad.
Scramble Flavor Booster: Add 1/2 - 1 tsp. fresh lemon zest and 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper to the salad.
Tip: Canned salmon has a variety of health benefits (especially if you mash in the skin)! In addition to being an excellent source of vitamin D, a 3.5 oz. serving has over 1,000 mg. of healthy omega-3 fats.
