"This looks like a great summer salad that could also serve as a make ahead main course. Haven't tried it yet, so I am guessing at the amount of servings."

What a great way to use up leftover salmon. I also added celery for that extra crunch. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a PERFECT salad to make for lunches. My boyfriend makes a full batch and we keep it in the fridge to dole out every day to take to work for lunch. It's tasty and healthy!

Very tasty and easy salad. I had it on the table in under 30 minutes. The only change I made was to serve it on different salad greens instead of iceberg lettuce. I served it with crackers and lemonade for a refreshingly cool dinner on a hot day.

What a delicious way to use up leftover salmon! I had baked salmon last night and had plenty leftover for this salad and no one would have ever known I was serving leftovers! I used rotini pasta and grape tomatoes and served on the bed of lettuce as Marie suggested.The combination of tomatoes, salmon and the red onion is just terrific. Wonderful supper, wonderful salad! Thanks, Marie!
