i use fresh salmon for this salad and it comes out great! just out of curiosity though, the ingredients say yellow pepper 2x, and no mention of celery, but the instructions has celery mentioned. i just make it without the celery, but what is the correct information??
great recipe to have lunch leftovers!
We had some glitches – it is fixed now. It calls for canned salmon, but I think it would be great with either one.
What quantity of salmon is needed?
is it canned salmon or fillets? i don’t see it in the ingredient list….
Neither the ingredients nor the instructions mentions salmon???
