- ¼ cup creamy mayonnaise
- ½ cup finely diced crisp celery stalks
- ¾ teaspoon herb-seasoned salt blend
- 2 cans wild-caught pink salmon thoroughly drained
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¾ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon dried dill weed
- ½ cup thinly sliced scallions
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Step 2: Mix the Creamy Base
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, and dried dill. Use a whisk to blend it all together. It’s important to achieve a smooth consistency; chunky dressing is not what we're after!
Step 4: Combine Ingredients
Now it’s time to bring everything together. Add the flaked salmon, diced celery, herb-seasoned salt blend, and the creamy dressing you prepared earlier into the large bowl. Gently fold the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5: Add the Scallions
- Use Fresh Salmon: For added richness, consider using fresh salmon instead of canned. Grill or bake it, then flake.
- Veggie Variations: Don’t hesitate to swap in other veggies like bell peppers, diced cucumbers, or even avocado for extra creaminess.
- Flavor Enhancements: Consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a different aromatic flavor profile.
- Make Ahead of Time: Prepare a big batch and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Easy meal prep!
- Serving Suggestions: Serve it on a bed of mixed greens or aboard a slice of whole-grain bread for a satisfying sandwich.
