The beauty of this is you can add whatever you want from a veg perspective. The base is awesome. Simple and delicious use of on hand items. Work from home savior. Love it.
This is my go to lunch salad when I need something quick and am trying to be good. One of the best things is it can be made from things I usually already have on hand.
easy to make and tastes good. The dressing compliments the salmon. You can get creative with this base for any salad.
Very good with fresh Kentucky cucumbers and tomatoes, served on crisp romaine lettuce. Used canned pink Alaskan salmon . 3 suggestions : 1.) chill can of salmon in freezer for about 30 minutes before opening and draining liquid into a bowl ( save ). 2.) scrape off skin and underlying dark flesh with a fork , add to liquid and reserve for your pets’ dry food . 3.) lightly salt and pepper vegetables and mix with half the dressing , do the same with salmon AND THEN COMBINE . Half of this recipe is in the refrigerator, covered and awaiting lunch tomorrow , so am hoping that will be as good .
