Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Salad
- 4 (6-oz) cans wild caught salmon, drained
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
- ½ cup feta cheese
Dressing & Seasoning
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Drain the Salmon: Open the canned salmon and carefully drain out the juices from the cans to avoid excess moisture in your salad.
- Combine Main Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the drained salmon, sliced avocado, thinly sliced red onion, drained sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese to create the hearty base of the salad.
- Add Dressing and Seasonings: Mix in the Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, and sea salt. Toss everything gently until the salmon salad is creamy and uniformly combined.
- Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the salad and adjust by adding more sea salt or lemon juice if desired. Serve the Mediterranean salmon salad on its own, over a bed of mixed greens, as a sandwich filling, or wrapped in romaine or butter lettuce leaves for a fresh and healthy meal.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a healthier, lower fat option or mayonnaise for richer flavor.
- Draining the canned salmon well prevents the salad from becoming watery.
- The sun-dried tomatoes add a nice chewy texture and tangy sweetness to balance the creaminess.
- Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors and keeps the avocado from browning quickly.
- This salad can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; however, avocado may brown slightly over time.
- For a dairy-free version, omit feta cheese and use vegan mayonnaise or yogurt.
