Canned Wild Salmon Salad

I woke up the other morning

And had no idea what to pack for lunch. I was sick of everything I had made lately and needed a change. I also wanted to work with what I had in my kitchen. I remembered I had a random can of wild salmon so I decided to wing it and whipped up this very easy and delicious salmon salad. Great to keep in mind when you’re in a similar situation!

Ingredients:

• 1 tin canned wild salmon

• 1/2 avocado

• 1/4 finely chopped red onion

• 1-2 tbsp capers chopped

• 2 tbsp finely chopped dill

• 1 small lemon juiced plus it’s zest

• 1 tsp dijon mustard

• salt and pepper to taste

Method:

• start off putting the avocado, lemon, and zest in a bowl. Mush it up until it’s rather smooth.

• add in salmon and use a fork to flake it up.

• add in the red onion, capers, dill, dijon mustard and mix together.

• add salt and pepper to taste and mix one more time

To serve:

• Place a heaping handful of arugula and drizzle with lemon/olive oil. Scoop salmon salad over the top with a sprinkle of sea salt and ground pepper.

• Or, toast up 2 slices of bread (I love the seeded gluten free bread from Sixteen Mill lately) scoop the salmon salad on each piece of toast, add a squeeze of lemon and salt and pepper.

• Plate veggie slices like celery, bell pepper, and carrots plus crackers to scoop it up - a great meal for on the go! This is a go to choice for me while traveling.

• Enjoy it regardless how you eat it!
