Ingredients
- 15 ounces cooked salmon canned or fresh
- 1 batch Creamy Dill Sauce make with 1 whole lemon
- 1 Persian cucumber finely diced
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- 1 ½ tablespoons capers
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the creamy dill sauce and instead of using ½ lemon juice, use the entire lemon. This will make the sauce a little thinned out, as well as give it more lemon flavor, which is what you want. Set the sauce aside and allow the flavors to meld.
- Flake the salmon apart, leaving some larger pieces as they will get broken up later.
- If using canned salmon, drain and rinse thoroughly, then add to a mixing bowl.
- Chop the cucumber, removing the seeds, into a very fine dice, as well as the red onion.
- Add them to the bowl with the salmon, along with the capers and chopped chives. Pour the sauce over the top.
- Gently mix to combine and it’s ready to serve. You can eat it as is, scoop it over your favorite salad, in a sandwich with your favorite low carb bread or serve in an avocado, which is my favorite way to eat it!
