How to Make Salmon Salad with Mayonnaise

  1. Break apart cooked salmon fillets with a fork; shred them until they have reached your desired size. Shred heavily for a smoother salmon salad; shred conservatively for a chunkier salmon salad.
  2. Dice celery and vidalia onion.
  3. In a large bowl, combine salmon, celery, onion, Duke's Mayonnaise, dijon mustard, dried dill, garlic powder, hot sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-combined.
  4. Refrigerate until cold and ready to serve. Enjoy!

Pro Tips When Making This Recipe

  1. Using fresh salmon when making salmon salad will lead to the best flavor.
  2. If you do not have the ability to use fresh salmon, canned salmon will work. Make sure to fully drain it.
  3. Chop the vegetables as finely as you desire; for more texture, chop them roughly. Additionally, the amount by which you chop/shred the cooked salmon determines the texture of the salad.

    Such a great idea for leftover salmon. The dill in there was spot on and I loved the crunch from the celery. 5 stars for sure.
