Author Notes

As a kid, I didn't like salmon, but my parents sure did. My mom would make salmon frequently...and then make salmon salad with my leftovers. I may not have liked the meal the night before, but I loved my mom's salmon salad. I added wild rice and a few of my own touches here for additional flavor and texture (sorry mom!).

I recommend serving this salad in lettuce cups or on bread with a little butter. It's also delicious with a fork! —JessicaBakes

This was delicious! I used dried cherries instead of raisins, as that's what I had on hand.

Yum! :-) best directions ever! I actually had wild rice in one hand and salmon in the other last night - but my idea is a warm dish so I will still proceed if I have time.
