Making a homemade and delicious spread doesn’t have to be difficult at all! Take this salmon salad, for example, which is incredibly tasty and easy to make.
Salmon Salad Ingredient List
This tasty bread salad recipe contains few ingredients that burst with fresh flavor and texture.
- Canned salmon, perfect to have on hand and ideal in this salad
- Greek yogurt and mayonnaise, to make it deliciously creamy
- Mustard and lemon juice, for a fresh kick
- Gherkins and shallots, for texture and flavor
- Fresh herbs, such as dill and chives
- Spices, such as smoked paprika and chili flakes
Build the sandwich with the bread of your choice and top it with crisp lettuce and add the salad. You can add some extra tomato and/or cucumber to taste. Et voilà – dig in!
Canned Salmon Salad
Canned salmon is just as healthy as fresh salmon; both are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. However, canned salmon is much more affordable and widely available! In my opinion, it’s the perfect item to keep in your kitchen cupboard so that you can enjoy this delicious salad with canned salmon whenever you like. Perfect, right?
I love to have some tins of canned fish on hand. It is a great way to add protein and flavor to your daily meals. Some other great recipes with tinned fish are this baked tuna pasta or this tuna salad with pasta.
Tasty Bread Salads and Spreads
As well as this salad with salmon, I like to make other bread salads and spreads to keep things interesting. A few of my favorites are filet Americain, this Dutch potato salad or this salmon and cucumber salad. Salmon is another great fish that you can get from a can! With this simple salmon salad in your repertoire, every lunch break can be a feast. 😉
