Salmon Salad

This is terrific with leftover salmon. It can be used on a snack/appetizer table too.

What you need

  1. Leftover, cooked salmon*
  2. Stuffed green olives, chopped (garlic stuffed are a nice touch)
  3. Thinly sliced red onion
  4. Lemon juice
  5. Mayonnaise (only enough to moisten)
  6. Kosher salt
  7. Fresh black pepper
  8. Cucumber slices (or crackers, thinly sliced dark bread, etc.)

How to make it

  1. For cucumber slices; wash well and remove ends. Cut into 1/4 inch slices on a slight diagonal. Lay out flat and sprinkle very lightly with kosher salt. Place salted side down onto paper towels while preparing the salmon.
  2. In a mixing bowl combine salmon, green olives, red onion, a pinch of kosher salt and mayo - mix gently so as not to break up salmon pieces too much
  3. Squeeze a little lemon over the salmon salad
  4. Turn cucumber slices over - do not rinse
  5. Place a spoonful of salmon onto each cucumber slice and place onto a platter
  6. Squeeze a bit more lemon over all and a few grinds of black pepper

*If you don't have leftover salmon, you can easily grill or poach some for the recipe.
