Mn (M's mom) came today to spend a few days with us before we leave to go house hunting in Buffalo. We were looking for something easy to do for dinner, so that we could have a festive meal, but that wouldn't take very long to prepare. This is a very simple and elegant salad. You can serve it over raw greens or along a more traditional dressed salad. It makes a WONDERFUL (shall I say, show stopping? I think I shall!) appetizer on grainy crackers. It's warm enough for a chilly spring night, but cool enough for the heat of summer. It requires almost no cooking (heating the dressing ingredients is all) and the salmon is simply drained and flaked right out of the can. Excellent food, excellent speed, excellent price! Does this remind anyone else of "the 5"? I think so!
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Shallots
Time: 20 minutes
Make ahead: Make this as early as you want and just zap it in the microwave for a short time to warm it up again. It is best warm, not cold.
Reaction
J: "Salmon is scrumptious."
M: "Canned fish. It's not just tuna anymore."
Mn: "Yum."

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts
