recipe re-post for Trisha...

It seems my dear friend Amanda unwittingly put the pressure on for me to re-post a recipe for Salmon Salad.  The original recipe for Tuna & White Bean salad is here.  I talk about it again here.  

The particular recipe that Amanda tried is a version of these that I then pureed since I'm still on the liquids/mushies stage of babying my latest fill.  I can't give you exact amounts since once I sort-of just winged it on this one.  Here is the list of ingredients and approximate amounts:

4oz smoked salmon (not lox)
4oz canned pink salmon
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 can cannelloni beans
fresh dill (to taste)
capers (to taste)
2-4 oz cream cheese

For the regular recipe, you just mix all ingredients together in a bowl.  I've found that this recipe is significantly better if it is allowed to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours (the flavors really bloom!).  

As I mentioned, I pureed this one and it wasn't bad at all!  The flavor profile changed a bit and I drizzled a bit more olive oil on top of the finished product to add moistness.  It was nice to eat alone, but would also make a great dip for crackers or crostinis or even a melt-style open-faced sandwich.

Enjoy!

The men thought the open face sandwich was the way to go. They liked the idea of cheese!

I am eating the last tiny bit for lunch today! yay!

I do have to say the really tasty olive oil was quite a finisher! Yum.
