Quick and Healthy Salmon Salad for Lunch
This salmon salad for lunch is a protein-packed, easy salmon salad recipe that’s nutritious, flavorful, and versatile. It’s a healthy salmon salad with yogurt, perfect as a homemade salmon salad sandwich or meal prep dish.
Ingredients
- 2 (6 oz) cans salmon drained (we used Wild Planet)
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 stalk celery diced (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the drained salmon, Greek yogurt, diced celery, diced red onion, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, ground pepper, and sea salt.
- Use a fork to mix everything together, breaking up the larger pieces of salmon until well combined. You should achieve a creamy, chunky consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice, pepper, or dill to your preference.
- Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes if you prefer a colder salad. This is great served with crackers, on a whole-grain sandwich, in a wrap, or over a leafy green salad for a lighter meal.
