We’re back today with another salmon recipe from Vilma Sisler!
A lot of our salmon recipes are pretty simple grilled or baked preparations. This one comes from a different angle, and we think you’re really going to like it!
Creamy Salmon Twists
This may be one of the best cold salmon salads I have ever eaten and I have had more than a few. My father-in-law, Richard Sisler, came up with this little mix a while back and I dream of it a lot. This recipe makes great use of any leftover salmon, smoked or not, but you could also pull out a new smoked salmon fillet for it as well.
This is great to take out on the river with you for a little midday snack eaten on paper plates with plastic forks, but it goes incredibly well at a fancy dinner with family and friends as well.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Mayonnaise
4 Tbs. Dijon mustard
4 Tbs. Cider vinegar
¼ tsp. Freshly ground pepper
½ Pound Twist macaroni, cooked al dente
14 ounces Smoked Salmon
10 ounces frozen or fresh peas, cooked and drained
2 Cups thinly sliced celery
1 Cup finely chopped red onion
½ Cup chopped dill, must be fresh!
½ block cheese mozzarella (fresh) or cheddar, or both
Preparation:
1. To make dressing, blend mayonnaise with mustard, vinegar and pepper until smooth.
2. Combine macaroni with salmon, peas, celery, onion and dill; toss with dressing, chill.
Enjoy!
