Salmon salad

I’ve never been a fan of tuna salad. Or chicken salad. Or most potato salad for that matter.

Mostly I think from not liking lots of mayo or miracle whip. Its ok on a sandwich, but not in large proportion like needed for the “salads”.

Anyway… so I downloaded a thing a few weeks ago with a few recipes listed in it, read over it but mostly ignored it. Then someone mentioned it had a really good idea on salmon salad in it.

I like salmon ok most of the time even though I’m not a big fish fan, so I went back into it.. and it listed mixing a packet of the boneless salmon with half a cup of cottage cheese, and eating it with crackers. Um.. yeah… I can see why I ignored it. lol

Anyway, randomly when I went to the store, I decided to grab some packets of the salmon, figuring it make them into patties or something. And got cottage cheese, because kiddo likes it.

So I was hungry at lunchtime the other day, picked up one of the salmon packets… remembered the recipe and decided to try it.

And found myself amazed that I actually do like it! lol! A bit of a surprise. I totally was not expecting to like it at all. But it works.

So I’ve been doing this most of this week, added mushrooms one day cuz they seemed like they fit.. ate on cucumber “chips” another… Sandwich with tomato added another..

And actually need to go get more salmon packets and cottage cheese now. (The person who’d pointed it out mentioned you can use the tuna packets too.. i’m thinking i may stick with the salmon though for now..)

Totally unexpected twists on thing you thought you knew… gotta love em.
