- 1 to 1 1/2 cup mayo shopping list
- 1/4 cup sour cream shopping list

- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder or very finely minced fresh garlic shopping list
- 1 teaspoon dried dill OR 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill leaves shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. paprika shopping list
- 2-3 ripe tomatoes shopping list
How to make it
- Scrub potatoes and cut into cubes of equal size, about 1 inch squares
- Place in pot of salted (about 1 tablespoon) cold water and bring to boil, cooking until just tender(about 15 minutes)
- Remove from heat, drain and place in bowl of cold water to stop cooking and cool the potatoes
- Drain VERY well after they have cooled
- Clean the salmon and crumble into a large bowl(this is a personal preference of mine, many don't mind the bones)
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice and zest, lime juice, dill, garlic and paprika together well. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside
- Add the onions and pickles to the salmon and toss lightly
- Gradually add the drained potatoes to the salmon mixture, stirring gently to keep the potatoes from becoming too mashed.
- Fold in the mayo mixture, chill at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Place lettuce in the center of the plates, circling with the tomato wedges and crackers.
- Spoon the chilled salad into the center of the lettuce and serve.
- Garnish with some added dill, a green onion, and/or paprika if desired
- *OPTIONS:
- Any type of potato may be used with good results, but I do peel anything other than red ones.
- If you like celery, which no one in my family does, you may add 1/4 cup diced celery when you add the pickles and onions for some extra crunch and flavor.
- Fat free or reduced fat mayo and sour cream work great in this recipe!
