Notes
- Use high quality ingredients. For best results and flavor, I prefer to use wild caught salmon and fresh herbs. The herbs and lemon zest make all the difference in this salad and give it a fresh and mouth-watering flavor.
- Let it sit. Let the salad sit for 10 - 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- If not serving straight away, keep the salad covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- You can serve this salmon salad in a number of ways - on a sandwich, in a wrap, over quinoa or on cucumber slices/crackers.
- This salad is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-carb.
