I have no clue who Margie is, but I have been making this delicious pasta salad for years. I usually double the recipe and always remove the skin and the bones. I usually substitute dehydrated minced onions for the green onion.

PAM'S SALMON AND MACARONI SALAD
High school recipe for Foods III, senior class. When Salmon was about the same price as Tuna. I love to play with this salad, adding other things and trying new herbs. But this is the "Original" version.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for wild-caught salmon, fresh vegetables, and a good-quality mayonnaise.
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon should be cooked until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your salad. Some good choices include celery, onion, red bell pepper, and snap peas.
- Don't skimp on the mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is what binds the salad together and gives it its creamy texture. Use a good-quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Salmon macaroni salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and summer gatherings. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, salmon macaroni salad is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
