Jeffrey Martinez
Nice summer salmon recipe
Cameron Lee
Love the way that the brightness of the cilantro and lemon flavors contrast with that little kick of Wasabi. I used leftover baked salmon rather than canned, but I like it without the salmon, as a side as well.
Martin Beck
This dish is easy and unique– not a combination you often find! I’ll definitely be making it again. The wasabi is definitely the key; don’t leave it out!
Chelsey Sweeney
THIS WAS A GREAT SALAD EVEN THO I DIDN’T HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS….BUT I SURE WILL MAKE IT AGAIN WITH ALL THE INGRED. ON HAND….I EVEN SENT IT TO A FRIEND I THOUGHT IT WAS SO GOOD.
Crystal Pearson
This is a great recipe for canned salmon. I added 1 teaspoon honey to the dressing for added depth. Filling yet light!
Robert Johnson
I had to make my own wasbi paste, and maybe I made it a little too weak, beacuse I didn’t tate any of it. Without the wasabi, there’s not much real taste to this salad; although I’d make it again.
Savannah Hall
What a wonderful combination of flavors. Very refreshing and healthy. Keep them coming
