Honey Mustard Salmon Salad

I was browsing the Whole Foods recipe collection and found this recipe for Honey Mustard Salmon Salad. I love to eat salmon and I am always looking for new ways to prepare it because of the omega-3 benefits. The rich salmon, lightly sweet honey mustard and crisp vegetables make this fresh take more flavorful than tuna salad. This recipe stood out to me especially because it does not include mayonnaise. This is a delicious lunch or dinner idea and can be served with crackers, on multigrain sandwich bread, or on lettuce leaves. I chose to serve the salmon salad with Multigrain Pita Bite Crackers from Trader Joe's. 




Recipe:

2 tablespoons honey mustard
2 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
1 (6 oz) can Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon, drained
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 rib celery, thinly sliced
¼ cup finely chopped red onion

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together honey mustard and yogurt.

  2. Add salmon, pepper, celery, and red onion and stir gently until combined.

A couple notes:

I added 2 stalks of celery instead of 1 as the recipe calls for to add more crunch.

Season with Salt and Pepper before serving.

Enjoy!
