"Salmon is high in protein and Omega-3 fatty acids content and to its overall low fat levels making it a healthier alternative as a sandwich filling. These are delicious alone or served with fresh vegetable sticks and dip."

I love egg salad and I really like salmon so I knew I would like this combination. Only change I made was to use lowfat mayo and no fresh dill at this time of the year so had to use my dried stash. Can't wait to make this again in the summer when I think it would be great on a hot, summer night. -
I love salmon salad, and egg salad, and what a great combination this made. I used a 6 oz can of salmon, so I used 4 eggs, 1/2 cup mayo, 1 green onion and 2 tsps dill weed. I used a little lemon zest, but probably only about 1 tsp for the double batch. I snuck a taste and loved the combination, but I always like mayo salads after the flavors meld overnight, so I'm sure it will be even better tomorrow. The dill just takes this over the top! I'll be eating this on a slice of lettuce instead of in a sandwich. -
When I saw this recipe last nite, I knew what I was having for lunch today. I love pita sandwiches for lunch & live where fresh salmon abounds at a reasonable price, so I used leftover marinated & grilled salmon. I added 1 tsp tiny Spanish capers & used ranch dressing I made from <a href="/41602">Texas Ranch Dressing</a> by Miss Annie instead of the mayo. It was so good! Unless served w/soup, a salad or fruit on the side, I do not agree that half a pita sandwich is a serving. The salmon mixture seemed just right for 2 sml pitas, but I easily ate 2 halves & am struggling to resist the 2 halves I saved for DH. Thx for a great lunch! -
Loved this. Not being a fan of dill, I used fresh basil from the garden. The salad seemed to need a little zip so I added a little Asian chili garlic sauce. Marvelous. -
The dill and lemon zest make this salmon salad extra-special! This is definitely a keeper.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
