Note

Tips

• - You can prepare this dish in advance but remember to chill it until serving. In this case bring it to room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving.
• - Don't cut fish and all vegetables into too little pieces otherwise, when you stir your salad, all ingredients could break up.
• - You can prepare this dish all year choosing fresh or frozen ingredients and fresh or dried aromatic herbs. In winter you have to serve it at room temperature.

Menu planning

• - This dish is very tasty. You can serve it as one-plate dish accompanied with a green salad or in a meal, buffet-style together with other dishes in every season.
• - Regarding doses adjust in this manner.
  If you prepare salmon salad for your family menu it serves four.
  Otherwise you can also calculate 8 people if not more.

Healthy eating

• - As you can see salmon salad is a dish rich in calories and fat but it is also rich in ingredients. For this I recommend it as a main dish in summer.
• - The use of salmon in cooking unfortunately follows trends. Currently, being quite tasty and easy to cook, it is chosen for many recipes and many important occasions. On the contrary in the 80s I remember perfectly that had been set aside. Too bad because from the nutritional point of view it is a fish to cook often. Remember it is rich in omega 3.

What's the right wine for " Salmon salad "?

My husband and I generally pair Muller Thurgau (white wine from Trentino- Alto Adige - Italy) to this cold dish with salmon. If you prepare it for a meal, buffet style with meat and fish dishes you can think of rosé wines too.
