CANNED SALMON SALAD



Canned Salmon Salad image

This is actually a modification of my parents' tuna salad recipe. I made it yesterday and enjoyed it so much that I just had to share it. You can eat this salmon salad plain, put it in a sandwich (with or without some romaine lettuce), put it on crackers for a party appetizer, serve it over mixed greens as a salad entrée, or put it on a slice of toast with some good Cheddar cheese and stick it in the toaster oven to make a salmon melt. Enjoy!
