Yep, another salad. Hey, it’s still hot out there. This time we have salmon salad (I call it ‘Salmon Salade’ to give it a continental twist—even though the salmon comes from a can). A very simple rendition, this one. Just take favorite herbs, mix it with mayo and mustard and that’s it. With a crusty loaf or even over rice, quinoa or pasta, it makes for a fine summer dish.
