American Salmon Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes before flaking into bite-sized pieces.

   Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the salmon is cooked to a safe internal temperature.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, grated carrots, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped celery.

   Tip: This salad will be a refreshing and crunchy base for the salmon and dressing.

3. 3

   Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss to combine.

   Tip: The tomatoes will add a burst of juicy sweetness to the salad.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh dill until smooth.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and mustard to your liking.

5. 5

   Add the flaked salmon to the bowl and toss to combine with the dressing.

   Tip: This will help to coat the salmon evenly with the tangy dressing.

6. 6

   Toss the salad gently to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.

   Tip: Adjust the seasoning as needed to balance the flavors.
