Otherwise, why bother?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a quick and delicious dish.  If this was not COVID-19 time I would say it is perfect for a few friends.  It takes almost no time and the results are stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Empty a can of wild salmon into a bowl.  You could also bake a wild salmon steak with a little salt and pepper until done to use instead of the canned variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put an onion and three stalks of celery into the food processor and turn it on until they are chopped fine.  You could also use a large knife and chop these by hand if you prefer.  The food processor gives a smoother salad.  The hand chop gives a salad where you can identify all of the ingredients &#8211; which adds its own goodness to what you are eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the onion and celery to the bowl of salmon and add organic mayonnaise to taste.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add enough salt and cayenne pepper to bring up an even better taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once mixed well, put a leaf from a small head of lettuce on a salad plate.  The lettuce leaf should have a nice &#8220;bowl&#8221; shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put a mound of the salmon salad in the middle of the lettuce leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to continue adding &#8211; thinly slice an organic tomato and add the slices around the mound of salmon salad.  You could also cut the tomato slices in half to give a different look to the salad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add organic crackers around the outside of the lettuce leaf.  Garlic Crackers or whatever kind you like will make this wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can eat this by scooping a bit of salad onto a cracker.  OR &#8211; Use a fork to just eat the salad including bits of tomato and lettuce together on the fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To spice things up you could add tabasco to the sliced tomatoes and let them sit a moment in the tabasco sauce before placing them around the salad mound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a dish which allows your creative juices to flow and it is delicious to eat, especially since you invested less than 10 minutes into its preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you used a can of pink salmon this will serve about 4 people &#8211; depending upon their appetites and your generosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AS USUAL ALL OF YOUR INGREDIENTS SHOULD BE ORGANIC!
