Living in Phoenix, it is hot 9 months out of the year. I think the heat is one of the reasons I love salads so much. This lemony dill salmon salad was developed because I’ve been trying to find ways to use dill, an herb I’m new to using. Fresh dill has great flavor and it’s been fun finding foods it complements.

We are a salmon loving family, but as it gets hotter, the less I want hot food. I wanted to create something that still included salmon but wasn’t hot. This salad is the best of both worlds. It is light, refreshing, and filling. I used capers in this recipe versus pickles because it pairs well with dill. They are a little pickle-y (is that even a word? It is now!) flavor but also a little like green olives. It adds depth of flavor that I just love.

For an added nutritional punch, I put this on a bed of baby greens. Can’t ever have enought dark leafy greens!

    This recipe looks yummy! I will definitely be trying this one. I always try to find ways to use dill, especially when I buy a bunch and it doesn’t last too long, so try to use it up ASAP. It definitely goes very well with salmon. Thanks for sharing!

    Hello fellow Phoenician! I have some salmon in the frig. This sounds yum. Where do you like to get your salmon? I cannot wait to grill some more but as you know the heat is perfect timing for a cold salad. Sounds great – I will just use vegan mayo. 🙂

      Hello! I usually get mine from sprouts or the farmers market 🙂 There are some great vegan mayo options out there 🙂 There’s a lemon-y one at sprouts I love.
