Notes
- The recipe assumes the canned salmon contains salt. If it doesn't, add ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- I like to add capers and scallions to the salad, but you can use lots of other things. Over the years, I tried and liked chopped olives, chopped cucumber pickles, diced celery, diced red onions, and chopped cilantro.
- You can also add chopped eggs for a filling and delicious meal - but then add a bit more mayonnaise.
- Another tasty addition is to add a few drops of hot pepper sauce.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. They keep quite well actually - just make sure to give them a quick stir before you use them. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.
