Ingredients Needed for This High-Protein Salmon Salad
Salmon: I prefer using wild-caught salmon. I love Butcher Box for this!
Mayo: This gives the salad a creamy texture. If you have issues with histamine, I would recommend making your own low histamine mayo from scratch or using olive oil here!
Red Onion: I love using red onion, but any kind of onion would be great.
Celery: This gives the salad a refreshing crunch!
Lemon: Lemon makes this salmon salad taste super fresh!
Paprika: This gives the salad some extra flavor.
Dill: Fresh dill is the best for this!
Garlic Powder: I'm a huge garlic fan, so you'll find it in most of my recipes.
Salt: My favorite salt is Redmond's Real salt because it is super high quality and natural. If you use my discount code LESSWITHLAUR, you can get 15% their website.
How To Make This Fresh Salmon Salad
To make this salmon salad, all you need to do is combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. If you have issues with histamine, you are definitely going to want to cook the salmon from frozen and immediately make the salad and consume it versus storing it in the fridge!
Substitutions and Variations
This recipe is easily adaptable! If you are egg-free be sure to use a vegan mayo. You can also just use olive oil in place of the mayo.
Storage
This salmon salad can be stored in the fridge for approximately 3 days. If you have histamine issues I would recommend consuming it fresh only (but everyone is different)!
