Ingredients for a salmon salad sandwich
Salmon is the ideal derivative of the classic tuna salad invented in 1907. Although canned salmon is slightly more expensive than canned tuna, it’s just as convenient and fun to mix up the classic recipe. This recipe is also perfect for using up leftover salmon from last night’s dinner. What you need for a salmon salad sandwich:
- Canned salmon or boiled salmon
- celery
- Red onion
- dill pickle
- capers
- greek yogurt or plain yoghurt
- mayonnaise
- Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper
Texture key: Yogurt and mayonnaise make a creamy sauce
The secret to the texture of this salmon salad sandwich? greek yogurt! Using yogurt in combination with mayo makes the salmon salad ultra creamy while keeping the calories low. It also makes the taste fresh instead of heavy! You can also use plain yogurt as a substitute for Greek. Mayonnaise and yogurt combine beautifully to create creamy sauces: we also use this trick in our classic tuna salad, our healthy ranch dressing, and more.
Fancy a dairy-free salmon sandwich? Skip the yogurt and use 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise total.
