A new go-to recipe for when life just gets busy. This 5 Minute Salmon Salad is here to save the day!
Even though this recipe is insanely easy to make, there’s certainly no sacrifice on the taste. It’s made with my favorite creamy Primal Kitchen mayo, it’s flavorful and it’s kid-friendly too. In fact, Dietitian Jess’s daughter, Piper who is 5, gobbled down this salmon salad before Jess even had a chance to photograph it. So in just 5-minutes, Jess whipped up another serving of salmon salad so that she could snap a photo (hence the name of the recipe).
