Test Kitchen Notes
This simple salad hits all the marks with it's contrasting tastes, textures, and colors. It's bright and fresh, thanks to the lemon juice, celery, scallions, and dill. The vegetables also give the salad a pleasant crunch. I loved the subtle lingering heat left behind from the cayenne, and the Old Bay seasoning added an extra kick. These components complemented the richness of the salmon very well, and when I piled some onto a water cracker, it was almost too pretty to eat! I'm definitely taking this on my next picnic. - forester_lady —duclosbe1
