SUMMER SALMON SALAD

Category: Salads - Seafood

1 lb salmon, freshly steamed
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 small Bermuda onion, sliced
8 ripe olives
1 green pepper, cut into rings
Crisp lettuce leaves
2 hard-boiled eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp celery seed
1/4 tsp dill
Mayonnaise

Break fresh steamed salmon into large chunks. In a large bowl, blend salmon carefully with desired amount of mayonnaise. Set aside. Chop celery, slice onion and hard boiled eggs, and cut green peppers into rings. In another bowl, blend celery with salt, pepper, celery seed, and enough mayonnaise to slightly coat celery. Mix seasoned celery with salmon, being careful not to break up fish.

Line a pre-chilled salad bowl with crisp lettuce leaves and carefully place the salmon salad mixture in center. Arrange alternate slices of egg, onion, and green pepper rings around border. Sprinkle lightly with dill and garnish the top with the ripe olives. Sprinkle salmon salad with freshly grated parmesan cheese, and serve with chilled ice tea on the patio.
