Salmon Salad


Salmon Salad

Awesome salad - we're having it again this week!
  • Prep Time: 10 min
  • Cook Time: 7 min
  • Servings: 4
  • Ingredients:
  • 1 large carrot
  • 6 oz of plain greek yogurt
  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 8 oz of salmon (we broiled some but you can do canned if you want)
  • 1 med. white onion
  • leaf lettuce
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • some dill
  • some paprika
Directions:
Cook the salmon if you want to used broiled, we did ours in a toaster oven with a little olive oil about 6 min. you will want it flaky. I have also done this with a 5oz salmon steak and used 3oz of smoked salmon pack (sunkist or whatever brand) gave it a nice smokey flavor.

while the salmon is cookin' dice the onion, and celery and shred the carrots. I am lazy and I have a slap chop so I slap chop all of the stuff!

Mix the greek yogurt (don't do vanilla by accident so read your labels) the slap chop mix you just made and the lemon juice together.

Either slice the tomatoes or cut into chunks (i like chunks) and set aside.

Rip off a few large pieces of lettuce to make a 'sandwich' with and set aside.

Add some dill and paprika to the yogurt veggie mix and fold in the salmon to the mix.

Lay out 1 or two big pieces of lettuce and dish a nice scoop of the salad into the lettuce, add some tomatoes. Roll the lettuce like a burrito and don't be afraid to add more pieces of lettuce to hold this together...the tighter the better. Grab a napkin because this is probably gonna be messy (you will get better the more you make).

I took the picture after we ate (these are going for lunch the next day) so I will try to post a finished product
. We bought a cucumber to dice and add on top this week...it's gonna be awesome!
