Made it per the recipe, using leftover fresh salmon. Delicious.
Elizabeth Larsen
This was delicious, and even better the second day. I used high quality canned salmon and subbed diced kalamata olives for the capers. Ate it with crackers or on salad greens. I can’t wait to try it the next time I have leftover fresh salmon.

This has become a family favorite. When I made it the first time I did not have the raspberry vinegar. So i just put in 4 Tbsp of olive oil instead of 2 Tbsp.
It was still amazing. People who do not eat salmon will eat this salad. It’s that good.

This is SO good!
I went looking for a recipe for Salmon Salad and stumbled across this one. Ina Garten recipes are always good but this was a surprise. I’ve made it three times since I found it last month!
I pretty much stuck to the recipe. I used dry dill instead of fresh because I had it, and as you usually should do when swapping fresh herbs for dried, I cut the amount in half and ground it in my palm first. I also knew I wanted something more on the creamy side so I swapped the olive oil for mayonnaise. It’s delicious on a toasted roll!
As with any of Ina’s recipes, you probably want to cut the salt in half first then taste test it from there. I found it a little too salty but adjusted to my tastes and it’s perfect.
Next time I want to add those teeny tiny little salad shrimp to create a kind of seafood salad.
Yummy for lunch or a light dinner!

I also  used leftover salmon from Rachel Rays Grilled Salmon Salad which is also very good. This one is my favorite though.  I like the fact it is not mayonnaise based and had capers!  We try to eat Mediterranean as much as possible as it is better for my husband.  Very different with excellent flavors.  Next time I will take the advice of another reviewer and add avocado.

This looks wonderful and I plan to make it soon, but wondering if it’s possible to use high-quality CANNED salmon, if fresh is unavailable (or not great quality).

This is an excellent summer salad!

I used leftover salmon from the night before and mixed in some smoked salmon. Avocado also a good add. Delicious!

Love this! Have made it many times, serve on pita or brioche hot dog buns. Dried dill works great too, as I often have a hard time finding fresh.

Absolutely fabulous! Can’t wait to make it again, gourmet taste but so easy , another Ina Garten winner!
