Mayonnaise is dairy free
What's a dairy free substitute for mayonnaise?
You would have to cook it first, but you can use leftover cooked salmon, about 1 pound
can you use fresh or frozen salmon instead of the canned salmon, and if so, how much?
So glad you liked it.
I just made this with the last of our dill. Subbed spaghetti because we don’t have bowties. Excellent option to use some pantry staples! Thanks!
Leave them out or add broccoli
My wife doesn’t care for peas – any suggestions of what I can substitute?
I don’t like keeping cooked fish more than a day at most, if you made it without the fish or maybe added smoked salmon before serving it could work.
Can this be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge? If so, how long? Hoping to make it two days before Break the Fast, but am afraid it won’t keep.
Also it says 3 tab of lemon juice twice. I’m assuming it’s 3 tab total?
YIKES! lemon juice just 1 time! 3 tablespoons total.
thank you!
Use 3 tablespoons chopped dill or 2 teaspoons dry.
how much dill, fresh dry?
