Salmon Pasta Salad with Dill

  5.0 – 2 reviews  • Salmon Salad Recipes

In place of sushi rice, we’re utilizing rice noodles to create a bowl version of America’s favorite sushi roll. This cool, tasty appetizer takes neither talent nor experience, unlike true California rolls. In addition, we can utilize the same technique to transform any of our other preferred sushi rolls into a rice noodle bowl.

Delicious! I added 3/4 cup of celery for extra crunch, and half the sugar.

This is a great recipe! I added some (1/2 teaspoon) granulated garlic and a pinch of paprika and cayenne. A marvelous blend of flavors. Makes me wish there were leftovers.
