The Best Salmon Salad Recipe
If you are a fan of salmon, this salmon salad recipe is meant for you! This recipe turns a simple, healthy protein into a creamy summer salad that is satisfying and so delicious. Similar to tuna salad, this salmon salad has crispy celery, fresh dill, and a tangy greek yogurt based dressing. I decided not to use mayonnaise here in order to keep it as healthy as possible! Flaking your own baked salmon means larger chunks of tender salmon and a fresher flavor than you would get with canned salmon or tuna! I recommend making some salmon at the beginning of the week for meal prep and using it in this salmon salad when you need a flavorful and easy lunch!
Ingredients Needed
Salmon: This salmon salad recipe is best with freshly cooked salmon as opposed to canned salmon! Olive Oil: To drizzle onto the salmon for roasting! Salt & Pepper: Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste. Red Onion: Diced red onion adds a savory crunchy flavor and a nice little crunch! Celery: Diced up celery adds a refreshing and crunchy bite! Fresh Dill: Fresh dill is a must here! It brightens the flavor and complements the salmon perfectly. Dijon Mustard: Add a high quality dijon mustard for lots of flavor! Greek Yogurt: To make this salmon salad super creamy, add some plain greek yogurt or a dollop of sour cream! Lemon: Fresh lemon juice is the perfect tangy addition!

Tips for Success
Add extra veggies! This salmon salad is super versatile. You can add extra veggies like cucumbers, diced bell peppers, or even tomatoes! Add extra herbs! Dill is a must here, but you can add extra herbs for added flavor! Try adding herbs like basil, parsley or chives. If you prefer to cook salmon in the air fryer, follow my air fryer salmon recipe! Greek yogurt can be substituted with sour cream or mayonnaise! However, Greek yogurt is definitely the healthiest option. You would never know that it wasn’t mayo in this recipe!
