This salmon salad is light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The salmon is cooked until flaky and combined with chopped red onion, celery, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. It's the perfect summer dish that can be served immediately or chilled for later.
I've been making this salmon salad for years, and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I love the combination of the flaky salmon, the crunchy vegetables, and the bright lemon flavor. It's a simple dish to make, but it's always a crowd-pleaser.
